EASY ITALIAN-STYLE HUMMUS
I actually like this much better than regular humus/hummus. It doesn't take long to put together, but tastes best if it has sat for at least 6-8 hours or overnight before serving. Cooking time is the time for the food processor.

Steps:
- Drain 3/4 of the liquid in the cans of beans. Put the beans, cheese, olive oil, garlic and lemon juice in a food processor. Puree.
- Add cayenne powder, paprika and ground black pepper as desired. Check for salt. Puree again. I usually add at least 1/4 teaspoon cayenne so that it has some kick to it.
- Remove and let the flavors marry for at least 6-8 hours or overnight in the fridge.
- Take the dip out of the fridge around 2 hours before serving. I usually spoon it into a pie plate or onto a large plate. Smooth the top of the hummus with the back of a spoon or use a knife.
- About 30 minutes before serving, garnish the hummus. First I spread prepared pesto sauce on top. You can spread it all over, in an outer circle pattern, spread it on half the hummus, or however you wish.
- Sprinkle at least 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts on top, or place in the center, or in whatever design you desire.
- Sliver around 1/4 of a roasted red bell pepper and arrange in a design of your own choosing.
- Arrange sliced olives around the edge of the plate.
- All of these garnishes are optional, but the pesto sauce and the toasted pine nuts taste especially good with this.
- Good served with pita chips or as a sandwich spread.

- Process until the mixture is smooth.
- Add roasted peppers and basil; process until the peppers are finely chopped.

Tips:
- Use dried chickpeas: Soaking and cooking dried chickpeas is the most economical and authentic way to make hummus. However, you can save time by using canned chickpeas, just be sure to rinse and drain them well before using.
- Don't overcook the chickpeas: Overcooked chickpeas will make your hummus mushy. Cook them until they are tender but still hold their shape.
- Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender is essential for making smooth and creamy hummus. If you don't have one, you can mash the chickpeas by hand, but it will take longer.
- Add tahini: Tahini is a key ingredient in hummus. It adds a rich, nutty flavor and helps to create a smooth and creamy texture.
- Season to taste: Hummus should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, coriander, or paprika.
- Serve with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers: Hummus is a versatile dip that can be served with a variety of accompaniments. Pita bread, vegetables, and crackers are all popular choices.
Conclusion:
Hummus is a delicious and healthy dip that is easy to make at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a smooth and creamy hummus that is perfect for snacking, serving at parties, or using as a sandwich spread. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, give hummus a try.
