Roasted Red Pepper & Garlic Hummus

Hummus is one of my favorite dips, I like it with veggies or chicken, pita bread, cracker cookies, I could probably even eat by itself!
Every time I buy some chickpeas I can't resist but make some hummus. Up until today I would only use dry chickpeas for my dip just because I always felt like reserving some extra chickpeas to make falafel later, this time around I was like, I am gonna use the canned ones, and to be completely honest with you guys, I think that canned chickpeas are the way to go, I still love hummus made of home cooked chickpeas, don't get me wrong, but there's something about the way they preserve the garbanzos in cans I guess? There's something about that I like :D.

Ingredients:

• 1 (450g) can chickpeas;
• half of a roasted red bell pepper;
• 4 roasted garlic cloves;
• salt and pepper to taste;
• half tea spoon ground coriander;
• half teaspoon ground cumin;
• a pinch of light chili powder;
• 1 table spoon tahini paste;
• 50 ml lemon juice;
• 50 ml extra virgin olive oil.

Ingredients for garnish:

• extra virgin olive oil;
• flax seeds;
• roasted pumpkin seeds;
• smoked paprika;
• ground turmeric;
• fresh cilantro (chopped).

Method:

Just like any dip I'd assume this one is extremely easy to make, place all of the ingredients into your food processor and pulse until they turn into a smooth paste.
Top with whatever garnish you please and enjoy! I had some Italian spice flat breads around, they worked :D!
