Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas undrained
  • 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas drained
  • 3/4 cup jarred roasted red peppers
  • 1/4 cup Sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic peeled
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • salt to taste
  • cayenne pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Throw the ingredients into the blender, except the salt and optional cayenne.

For the Vitamix

  • Set the Vitamix to the "Frozen Desserts" setting and let it whirl! Once the cycle has finished, season with salt, to taste. I also love adding in cayenne pepper for an extra kick, but that's up to you!

For the blender

  • Set your blender on it's highest setting and blend until smooth. If you don't have a very powerful blender, you may need to add more liquid. If you're concerned your blender isn't powerful enough, you may also want to peel the chickpeas before blending. Once smooth, season with salt and optional cayenne, to taste.
  • This tastes even better once it's had a chance to chill in the fridge, so I'd definitely recommend making this a few hours before you actually need it.
  • I love serving this with a variety of vegetables, pita bread, tortilla chips, and crackers! This is also great in wraps and sandwiches, too!
