This is my husband’s hummus recipe. I could honestly live on this! We make it in giant batches, cooking 2 lbs of chickpeas at a time in our Instant Pot. Then we freeze it in 1-1/2 cups jars in our freezer. It makes about 7-8 jars. Note: the pictures are from when I was teaching a cooking class to a local homeschool co-op. This is a very kid friendly recipe, both in taste and ease of making it.

1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and add back ½ the liquid
3 cloves garlic
2 Tbsp tahini
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
½ tsp sea salt
2/3 of a red pepper, roasted skin side up at 400 °F for about 25 minutes (until there is some char on the skin)
5 drops of liquid smoke (optional)
Microwave chickpeas, chickpea liquid, and garlic for 4 minutes. Food process everything until smooth. Chill before serving (if you can wait that is). Chilling allows the hummus to thicken.
