Roasted Bell Pepper Hummus

 

My dad harvested some red bell peppers from his home garden for me.  I got a lot of goodies from his garden so couldn't eat them all in time.  I cleaned, prepped and freezed them for later use. I cut them in two different styles with the intention of adding them to chili and a stir fry.  However, I ended up using them to make roasted red bell pepper hummus.

Here's the link to the original recipe I followed: https://www.inspiredtaste.net/22016/roasted-red-pepper-hummus-recipe/

I used lime instead of lemon because that's what I had on hand and added a bit more olive oil because I wanted the texture smoother. I also air fried my bell pepper and didn't peel off the skin.

Hummus

  

The recipe I found called for tahini, which I had never used. I found out that it's ground sesame seeds.  I had sesame seeds on hand and decided to try blending them down to use in place of tahini.  This experiment turned out okay, but was a bit too thick for my liking.  I'll get tahini next time.  I also added triple the amount of garlic it called for 'cause I'm a garlic lover.
