Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

I'm addicted to hummus. I preeeeeetty much eat it everyday. I put it on veggies. I made lettuce wraps with it. Add it to salads. It's always in the fridge. And it's always.....EXPENSIVE. One small container of it at the store costs about $5 or $6 dollars and it lasts me about 3 days. I knew there had to be a better way. Here's my Roasted Red Pepper Hummus recipe adapted from dozens of others online. This one works the best for me.

Now, I will say, the most expensive ingredient you'll need for this recipe is Tahini.  Tahini is like peanut butter, but with sesame seeds.  It's about $8 for a container, BUT, each jar of Tahini will last you about 6 recipes. And each recipe is about 3 times larger than the normal hummus containers from the store. You're definitely getting your money's worth here, so don't fret at the price tag.

Ingredients:
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 c. basil
Parsley (to taste)
Oregano (to taste)
Pinch of sea salt
1 jar garbanzo beans (drain)
1/4 cup Tahini
1 jar Roasted Red Peppers
2 Tbsp EV Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Pinch of Cayenne pepper
3 cloves garlic

Directions:

Throw everything in food processor. Blend.

Seriously, that's it. 30 seconds to make this.

Store in an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator. Usually good for up to a week or more.
