Usually hummus is made with garbanzo beans (chickpeas) along with tahini, lemon juice and olive oil. But sometimes other ingredients can be added. In this case, roasted red peppers brighten up the flavor for an interesting change.
You can use jarred roasted peppers. Or you can do them yourself. If you blister or blacken the skins over a grill or comal, you can toss them into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. The steam will help loosen the skins to make them easier to peel.
I also do recommend taking the few extra minutes to pinch the skins off the beans. The will make the hummus extra smooth without that gritty or lumpy feel from the skins. Once you see all the skins set aside, you’ll see why they are unappetizing. Reminds me of the skin shed off the little creature in the movie Alien. Oh my. Bye bye. ROFL!
