Ingredients
- 1 15 oz can chickpeas/ garbanzo beans (drained), or 1.5 cups freshly cooked

Instructions
- If using canned beans, drain and rinse them first.
- Place chickpeas, roasted red peppers, green onions, lemon juice, tahini (if using), garlic, vegetable broth, cumin, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth. I like to leave mine a little chunky. The longer blended, the smoother it will be.

- This hummus last approximately 7-10 days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.

Notes
Tips & Suggestions:
Storage & Freezing- This hummus lasts approximately 7-10 days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. It freezes well in an airtight container for up to 6-8 months. The day before you want to eat it, move the hummus container from the freezer to the refrigerator. It takes at least a few hours to thaw until it’s ready to eat. Thawing can take longer depending on how much is in your container. It’s best to freeze hummus in small portions to make defrosting quicker and to have handy small amounts to eat in one sitting.
Tahini- This is a PCRM recipe and they use tahini, but I always leave it out and it still tastes delicious.
Ways to Serve this Hummus:
