- Purée chickpeas, lime juice, olive oil, tahini, roasted red pepper, garlic, cumin, salt and cayenne in food processor until smooth.
- With the motor running, pour water slowly through feed tube until hummus reaches desired consistency.
- Transfer to a bowl and serve right away or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Makes about 3 cups, each serving is 3 tbsp.
