Well it is all busy busy busy in the BBB household as we finalise the food for tomorrow’s party.
Salads….check.
Cakes…check.
Dressings….check!
And more dips….
check!
If yesterday’s preparation was all about Beany Beetroot Dip, then today was all about Roasted Capsicum Hummus.
Ie. not your normal Hummus – but one that is taken from fab to FANTASTIC with sweet roasted capsicum.
And, which served as a further reminder of how homemade dips really are too easy.
Into the food processor went chickpeas and roasted capsicum,
Garlic, paprika…
Tahini, lemon juice, olive oil and water.
Processed until smooth.
And voila!
A vibrant dip…
Packed with spice…
And flavour :)
Not to mention super easy :)
Packed up and ready to go!
And the baking continues….

What about you? Do you have any ‘secret’ ingredients in your hummus?

Sometimes I put in horseradish or wasabi :) Love party food you can make in advance!
ReplyDeleteDelicious! I have been eating hummus with a spoon lately ;)
ReplyDeletemmmm, that looks so creamy!
ReplyDeleteI really haven't tried anything exciting with my hummus, I usually just stick with the traditional garlic :)
I want to come to your party!!
ReplyDeleteI love roasted pepper hummus. It's definitely one of my favorites. I've never made my own hummus before, but if I ever did I think I would add a squeeze of stone ground mustard for some spice.
ReplyDeleteI let making my own hummus intimidate me but it really is easy if you have the right ingredients on hand. This looks great!
ReplyDeleteLooks delish! I don't why is amuses me so that you call them capsicum & we call them red peppers.
ReplyDeleteOh so YUMMY!! Red pepper hummus is my FAVE and I am definitely making this soon!! :D
ReplyDeleteI just made Wannabe Chef's dessert hummus, so my 'secret' ingredients were PB, maple syrup and chocolate chips! A bit different from the ordinary hummus ingredients list! :P
Where's my party invite?
ReplyDeleteSeriously have marked these recipes down and will take them to my next "bring a dish" party :)
You rock!
Roasting the capsicums really makes them nice and sweet. My secret is just lots of yummy garlic!
ReplyDeleteThere is no secret ingredient in my jalapeno hummus but I make a killer hummus!
ReplyDeleteYour combination looks amazing.
This hummus looks amazing! I like to add sweet chilli sauce to mine :)
ReplyDeleteYum :) all these dips :)
ReplyDeleteHi there, I love your blog and look foward to every new post. I'm wondering if you have any races/tri events coming up? I've discovered a love for getting fit and strong and have found your blog very motivational, I'm training for an 8km fun run in May, The Mothers Day Classic..I love hearing about your training routines..really gives me a boost!..Natalie
ReplyDeleteDelish. Love a good dip, and roasting the capo gives a sweet hit! Garlic is my secret ingredient, if you'd call garlic a secret. I love the stuff. Yum! :)
ReplyDeleteMmmm, roasted capsicum dip is one of my bf's favourites! Looks delish
ReplyDeleteOh I love hummus, but I can't eat it for a while, cause I used to make dips for the farmer's markets and got so sick of tasting them, that I can't eat them, which is part of the reason I have stopped selling them!
ReplyDeleteHow could one fail to be cheered up with a dip that sunnily shaded and beautiful! :D
ReplyDeleteHere it is, fabulous! Lisa I used to be seriously obsessed with roasted capsicum dip when I was younger. With doritos (or CCs, remember them!!). I love this, can't wait to make it myself, thanks!
ReplyDeleteHeidi xo
Just made some with vine-ripened jalapenos from my garden
