Hummus is super simple to make:
1 16 oz can of garbanzo beans
1/4 cup liquid from the can
3-5 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on taste)
1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt to taste
cumin and/or paprika to taste
Just mix it all together in a blender or food processor. You can garnish it with paprika and parsley if you want it to look pretty.
If you want to make it red bell pepper hummus do the exact same thing, but broil 1-2 red peppers depending on the size and your taste preference. You need just remove the skin from the pepper(s) and mix the flesh in with the other ingredients.
