Roasted Poblano Hummus

I have been a hummus fan for quite a while and roasted poblano peppers are one of my favorites so this combination felt like a no brainer. In fact, I'm not sure how I haven't tried this before.

Roasted Poblano Hummus

Roasted Poblano Pepper Hummus

3 poblano peppers

2 15oz cans chick peas or garbanzo beans, drained*

3 garlic cloves

2 T tahini (sesame seed paste)

Zest and juice from 1 lemon

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp cumin

Olive oil

Liquid from canned chick peas

Roast the poblano peppers in oven until the skins are blistery and black. Remove and place in a paper or plastic bag and seal for a few minutes until the skins start to pull away from the peppers. Once the peppers have cooled, remove seeds and give peppers a rough chop.

*Drain the juice from one of the cans of chick peas into a bowl and reserve for extra liquid in hummus. Pour the chopped peppers, drained chick peas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, salt, cumin, and a little olive oil into a food processor and pulse. 

Stream in the some of the reserved liquid from the chick peas and turn on high. Stop occasionally and scrape down the sides with a spatula. Continue blending and adding chick pea liquid or olive oil until desired texture. Test the hummus before removing from food processor and adjust seasoning to taste.
