Spinach Artichoke Hummus with Roasted Red Peppers

          

This is my new twist on hummus. We love spinach artichoke dip and hummus so I tried to make a more delicious spinach artichoke dip by adding it to hummus. I served with homemade pita chips.

Original recipe makes 12 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/4 cup water
1 (10 ounce) bag chopped fresh spinach
2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, liquid reserved
1 (12 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 (7 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped

  2. Place the garbanzo beans into a blender. Cover, and puree until smooth. Add the spinach, artichokes, and garlic mixture. Blend to desired consistency, pouring in reserved garbanzo bean liquid as needed. Spoon mixture into a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Top with roasted red peppers before serving.
