Spicy and crunchy roasted pepper and garlic hummus
Made this delicious hummus last night. I roasted the peppers and garlic before going to work in the morning so it only took about 10 minutes to prepare in the evening. We ate it slightly warm spread with warm toast and a salad, but it would also be perfect served with grilled fish, as stuffing for jacket potatoes, or cold as a dip with crudités. I roasted a whole bulb of garlic and will use it during the week - it gives soups, mashes and salad dressings a lovely sweet flavour.
