Roasted red pepper hummus

I adapted a recipe from an old magazine. I made A LOT of this, a bit too much in fact. I would suggest that you halved my ingredients because you will still end up with plenty...
　
Ingredients:

- 4 x tins of chick peas;
- 3 x roasted red peppers;
- 4 x roasted garlic cloves;
- Juice of 4 lemons;
- 500g cottage cheese with onion and chives;
- Salt, pepper and chilli flakes.

Syns = 4 for the whole lot.

Method:

1) Roast peppers and garlic for 40 minutes;
2) Juice two lemons;
2) Add all of the ingredients to one bowl and blend until relatively smooth.
3) Add salt, pepper and chilli flakes to season.

My thoughts…

This was ok, but I really missed the olive oil taste that you get with “real hummus”. That said, I did enjoy it and I would make a smaller batch again, as I think it’s a handy thing to have in the fridge for when you get hungry. It also tasted nice in a jacket potato.

    Sorry for all the comments!

    That looks yummy. I keep threatening to make hummus but keep putting it off incase it doesn't taste that nice. Maybe tahini paste would make a difference, think it's 4.5 syns per tablespoon.

      Don't say sorry! I am grateful for all your comments! :o) ...To be honest, if you do decide to make this, I'd suggest you did add the Tahini Paste, because I think this would probably make all the difference and would be a worthwhile investment if you think you'd make hummus more than once! x
