ROASTED RED PEPPER HUMMUS

Steps:

• If using dried beans, soak them overnight in the refrigerator.
• Drain, rinse and place in a large saucepan and cover with 2 quarts water. Add the baking soda and bring to a boil. Cook until the beans are firm but tender, about 1 hour. (Garbanzo beans can be tricky and can require as much as 2 hours to cook so keep testing them. You want the beans tender but not mushy).
• Drain and cover with cool water. Agitate the beans to remove as many of the skins as possible. They will separate and float to the surface and can be removed with a small strainer (this will make the texture of your hummus nice and smooth).
• Drain the beans and allow them to cool completely.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Coat the red pepper with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Bake until the outside is charred, 30 to 40 minutes. Alternatively grill the pepper until it is charred and soft.
• Place the pepper in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and allow the skin to steam off, about 15 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
• Once the pepper has cooled, remove the skin, stem and seeds and coarsely chop.
• Place the roasted red pepper, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, cumin, black pepper, 3 cups of garbanzo beans and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a food processor and process until creamy, 5 to 7 minutes.
• To serve, drizzle with olive oil and top with the crumbled feta cheese if using.

SMOKY RED PEPPER HUMMUS WITH CHARRED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to broil on high and line 2 rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil.
• Add the chickpeas and baking soda to a small saucepan and add enough water to cover them by 1 inch. Cover the saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. When the mixture comes to a boil, turn the heat down and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the top off of the bell pepper, then cut it into quarters and remove the seeds and ribs. Place the bell peppers on one of the prepared baking sheets, skin-side up. Add the tomatoes to the other prepared baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Broil until the skins of the bell peppers are completely charred and the tomatoes have burst and are slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Set the tomatoes aside. Transfer the bell peppers to a glass bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow them to sit for 10 minutes. Once they are cool enough to handle, gently peel off the charred skins and discard.
• Once the chickpeas have simmered for 20 minutes, drain them then add them to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and pulse to blend. Add the roasted red peppers and pulse to blend. Once the mixture is almost smooth, drizzle in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil with the machine running and blend until smooth.
• Transfer the hummus to a plate and smooth it out to cover the whole surface area. Top with the charred tomatoes and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with pita chips and crudités.
