Made Red Bell Pepper Hummus


Today I made hummus again. This is a spread (or dip) made from pureed chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, dried basil leaves, ground pepper, and roasted red bell pepper. I then made sandwiches (resembling sliders) using the hummus as a spread on each half of the sandwich bun and loading up with more roasted bell peppers. The result was killer! I also discovered a savory new ingredient called SALT (I think it must stand for "Such A Lovely Taste"). I added a mere 1/4 teaspoon to the batch of hummus and it tasted great. I must remember to make even more use of this key ingredient in the future. The photos here aren't that great, but you can get an idea of how good it looks when sliced in half.
