Ingredients

Instructions

  • Roast bell pepper on a parchment lined baking sheet at 400°F for about 40 minutes, turning at regular intervals so their skin gets charred on all sides (Note: you may want to roast several peppers at once, they will keep very well and can be used in other dishes and salads).
  • Place bell pepper in a glass bowl and cover. Let cool for at least 15 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, remove the skin and seeds.
  • Place all ingredients in a food processor, and blend until smooth, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl from time to time.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings. If you wish to adjust the consistency you can add water, olive oil, or reserved liquid from the can of chickpeas.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil on top and sprinkle with sumac.
