Roasted Yellow Pepper Hummus

I wish I had a gas stove to roast my Pepper on, but the oven will do the trick.
I drizzled a little bit of Olive Oil on the Pepper.  

Wrapped up my Yellow Pepper in Aluminum Foil and put it in the oven for 1 hour at 350 degrees.

I let the Pepper cool down so that I can peel the skin off and take out the seeds

I cut the Pepper open and laid it out flat so that I can cut it into strips


I've stacked my strips so that I can cut the Pepper into a small dice

The smaller the dice, the better.

Drain and Rinse a 15 oz can of Chickpeas/Garbanzo Beans

I put the Chickpeas/Garbanzo Beans and 3/4 of the diced Yellow Pepper, 2 tablespoons Olive Oil and 2-3 tablespoons of Chicken Broth in my little processor. I've also added 1 1/2 teaspoons Fresh Lemon Zest, 1/2 teaspoon each of dried Rosemary, dried Thyme and Curry Powder. Also added 1 1/2 teaspoons of dried Oregano and of course Salt & Pepper

I folded in the 1/4 of diced Yellow Pepper that I reserved from the processor.
If Hummus gets too dry then add a splash of Chicken Stock or Olive Oil.

It's a done deal!!! Delicious!
Ready for some fresh veggies, Pita Chips or Naan bread
