re: Homemade hummus

I use this recipe and it's always a hit.

Jalapeno & Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

2 (15-oz.) cans garbanzo beans
2 Tbsp. tahini paste
3 garlic cloves
1 Tbsp. ground cumin
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced
Salt, to taste
2 jalapeños, seeded and ?nely chopped
1 roasted red pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt

1. In a food processor, combine the garbanzo beans, tahini paste, garlic cloves, 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and salt; blend until a smooth paste forms. Reserve.
2. In a bowl, mix the jalapeños, roasted red pepper and 1/4 cup olive oil; add salt to taste.
3. To serve, place the pepper mix on top of the center of the hummus; serve with baked pita bread or pita chips.
