Roasted Red Pepper Hummus with Miso (Vegan)

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus with Miso 

(Vegan)

Even though store bought hummus is quick and relatively inexpensive, it is still loaded with oils and preservatives. So, here is a very low fat and tasty recipe:

Ingredients:

·        1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained

·        2 chunks of roasted red pepper (canned)

·        1 clove garlic

·        4 teaspoons red mellow miso*

·        2 teaspoons tahini

·        2-3 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions:

1.    Place all ingredients into a food processor and combine until smooth and creamy. You may need to add more lemon juice for this effect.

*Miso: a thick paste made from fermented soybeans and barley or rice malt; used in Japanese cooking to make soups or sauces.
