Ingredients
- 2 Red peppers
- 1 tin Chickpeas 400g
- 1 clove Garlic peeled
- 3 tbsp Tahini
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1½ tsp Smoked paprika
- 3 tbsp Olive oil extra virgin
- ½ tsp Sea Salt
- 2 tbsp Water cold, as needed
To serve
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp Pine nuts toasted
Instructions
- Roast the Peppers. Char the red peppers directly over a gas flame or under a hot grill, turning until the skins are blackened and blistered. Transfer to a bowl, cover with a tea towel, and leave to steam for 10 minutes. Peel off the skins, remove the seeds, and roughly chop the flesh.
- Blend the Hummus. Add the roasted peppers, chickpeas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, smoked paprika, olive oil, and salt to your Ninja Power Nutri Blender. Blend until smooth. Add cold water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and Adjust. Taste the hummus and adjust the salt, lemon, or paprika to your liking. Blend again briefly if needed.
- Serve. Spoon into a bowl, swirl the top with the back of a spoon, and garnish with olive oil, spices, or nuts if using. Serve immediately or chill until ready to eat.
