A delightful twist on classic hummus, this creamy roasted red pepper chickpea dip is perfect for any occasion.
Combine the cooked chickpeas, roasted red peppers, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, fresh garlic, salt, freshly squeezed juice of the lemon, olive oil, and water in a food processor.
Ensure the chickpeas are well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the dip.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the food processor as needed to ensure even blending.
For a smoother texture, blend for an additional minute or two.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Remember to taste as you go to achieve the perfect balance of flavors.
Transfer the dip to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Chilling the dip enhances the flavor and texture, making it more enjoyable.
Serve the dip chilled with your choice of accompaniments such as fresh vegetables, pita bread, or crackers.
Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of smoked paprika for an appealing presentation.
