Overcome Your Gut + Digestive Issues With Ancestral Nutrition
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
This hummus recipe makes for a great snack or side to a Mediterranean dinner. You can have it with veggies, crackers, or pita bread. I like to have it with tabouli, baba ghanoush, and pita bread in my on the go Mediterranean food meal. However you decide to eat it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
With love from my kitchen to yours,

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
AuthorKayley O'BrienCooking beans from scratch will add about 1 hr and 40 minutes to your total time. However that is cooking and soaking time so you can do something else during that time.
Place dry chickpea in pressure cooker, rinse and drain. Add water, bring to a boil, turn off heat, and let soak for 1 hour. Then secure lid and bring to a steam over high heat. Once it begins steaming, reduce heat to medium and cook for 30 minutes. After that, depressurize your pressure cooker and drain out the water.
If using canned beans, skip the first step, open and drain your cans.
Preheat your oven to broil. Core your peppers and cut them into a few large pieces. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Transfer peppers to the baking sheeting and press down on them with the palm of your hand to flatten. Put the garlic, unpeeled, on the baking sheet as well. Brush 1 tbsp of olive oil over the peppers and broil them along with the garlic for 10-15 minutes, till the outer skins have mostly blackened. Let sit to cool for a few minutes then peal off the outer skins of the peppers and garlic and discard the skins.
Combine the peppers, garlic, chickpeas, 2 tbsp of olive oil and all the remaining ingredients in a blender and blend till smooth. Store in a tupperware in the fridge, serve with crackers or pita chips and enjoy!

Notes:
- Nutrition is based on the products I use. I provide a nutrition table so that you can quickly check to see if your food products match or so that you can easily calculate the nutrition for any changes you want to make to the recipe. I think this helps if you have very specific diet goals and/or fitness and/or health goals. I also wanted you to be able to see exactly where I get the numbers for my nutrition facts so that you can see that they are reliable and learn more about macro breakdowns of food.
- Note that nutrition is based on dry beans, calories in canned beans can vary. If you use canned beans and want very precise and accurate nutrition information, you can substitute the values given on the can into the chart above and redo the calculations.
