Humus od pecenih paprika (Roasted pepper hummus)

Sastojci: 200 g kuvanih leblebija (bez opni, ocedjene), 2 velike crvene paprike (pecene i oljuštene), 2 kašike tahinija, 2 kašike maslinovog ulja, 1–2 kašike soka od limuna, 1 čen belog luka, ½ kašičice dimljene paprike u prahu ili aleve paprike u prahu, ½ kašičice soli, 2–4 kašike vode (po potrebi za teksturu).

Priprema:

1. Ispeci paprike. Oljušti. Iseci na manje komade.

2. U blender stavi leblebije, pečene paprike, tahini, maslinovo ulje, 1 kašiku soka od limuna, beli luk, so i dimljenu papriku. Blendaj dok ne postane glatko.

3. Dodaj vodu postepeno dok ne dobiješ kremastu, mazivu teksturu.

4. Dodaj jos 1 kašiku soka od limuna za svežinu, prstohvat soli za puniji ukus, malo ulja za svilenkast kraj.

Savet:

- Ako ga ostaviš u frižideru 2–3 sata, ukus paprike postane još dublji i “dimljeniji”, kao da je duplo jače pečen.

Upotreba:

Odlično ide uz tost, pita hleb, somun, tortilje, integralni hleb ili kao namaz u sendvicima i rolnicama. Može i kao sos za umakanje povrca.

Ingredients: 200 g of cooked chickpeas (without membranes, drained), 2 large red peppers (roasted and peeled), 2 tablespoons of tahini, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1–2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 clove of garlic, ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika powder or sweet paprika powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, 2–4 tablespoons of water (as needed for texture).

Preparation:

1. Roast the peppers. Peel off. Cut into smaller pieces.

2. Put chickpeas, roasted peppers, tahini, olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, garlic, salt and smoked paprika in a blender. Blend until smooth.

3. Add water gradually until you get a creamy, smooth texture.

4. Add another 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for freshness, a pinch of salt for a fuller taste, a little oil for a silky finish.

Tip:

- If you leave it in the fridge for 2-3 hours, the taste of the paprika becomes even deeper and "smoky", as if it has been roasted twice as hard.

Using:

It goes great with toast, pita bread, flatbread, tortillas, whole wheat bread or as a spread in sandwiches and rolls. It can also be used as a sauce for dipping vegetables.
