Thanks so ...Great concept recipe that I make often. Thanks so much for posting.<br />Given that bell peppers are dirt cheap where I live, I always use fresh ones for this recipe.<br />I turn my toaster oven on to 400 degrees F., cut a slit in the red pepper after rubbing it with olive oil, and insert my raw garlic cloves and a small hot pepper into the cut slit on the pepper. I will roast until I see black spots - sometimes accelerate this by switching to broiler after 15 minutes to make "black spots" on the red pepper exterior. If I am working on the BBQ, I will just add the pepper(s) to a spot on the open grill. Sometimes I will add a half oiled garden onion to the grill or oven pan and let cook/blacken on one side.<br />I then place the roasted red pepper into a bowl (with the garlic cloves and roasted hot pepper inside) into a bowl with the roasted half onion to let them all "sweat". Please be careful not to lose any of the vicious fluids that will release from the peppers as you will use them in your mix in the food processor.<br />When cooled somewhat, remove pepper and remove most of the skin saving some of the black spots to include in the food processor. Gives the hummus a very interesting and custom look. <br />I take the sweated hot pepper and cut the milder tip end off and include in the food processor and mix and taste as I do not want burn your mouth out chili hot hummus. If hot enough, quit and garnish with sesame seeds, roasted pumpkin seeds, and or a little smoked Spanish paprika. If mix is a little flat, I add more of the roasted chili to "spice it up". As the pepper has been sweated inside another mild pepper, it is very soft when cooked, and will easily incorporate into your hummus for a little more "pop". If the hot pepper were raw, you would run the risk of having "big hot pieces" in your hummus that may cause someone a "hot mouthful" in what previously was not hot to taste.<br />Hope this might add to your thoughts about this dish.<br />James McNultyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09389452992745963350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1254840745141911962.post-21990524721231197042015-01-21T12:59:09.033-05:002015-01-21T12:59:09.033-05:00This sounds like a great game day "treat"...This sounds like a great game day "treat".
