Amy's Homemade Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Recipe:

In a food processor, add 1 clove of garlic and pulse until garlic is in tiny pieces.  Then add 1 can of chick peas, drained, to the food processor, as well as 2 tbsp tahini, 1/2 tsp salt, juice from half a lemon and ½ - 1 cup of roasted red peppers, and process.  While food is mixing, drizzle in 1-2 tbsp of EVOO.  Process until it reaches desired consistency (sometimes it’s fun to leave it chunky or to make it really smooth, depending on how you will be using it).  If needed add cold water, a tbsp at a time, to get desired consistency.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.  When ready to serve taste to see if more salt is needed, if so, add it.  Then drizzle a little more EVOO on top or another squirt of fresh lemon!  

Tip:  I always try to make this a day before I want to use it because the flavor is always better after it marinates overnight!
