Ingredients
| 4 | cloves garlic, unpeeled |
| 1/3 | cup fresh packed parsley leaves |
| 15 | ounces canned chickpeas (garbanzos), rinsed and drained |
| 1 | cup jarred roasted red peppers, rinsed and drained |
| 6 | pitted oil-cured black olives |
| 2 | tbsp tahini |
| 2 | tbsp lemon juice |
| 1 | tbsp mild cayenne pepper sauce (such as Frank's Red Hot or Texas Pete) |
| Pre-cut vegetable sticks and whole-wheat pita wedges for dipping |
Directions
Place the garlic in a small dish (or custard cup). Add enough water to just cover the garlic (about 3 tablespoons). Cover the dish with plastic wrap and microwave for 1 minute at full power; discard the water.
When it's cool enough to handle, squeeze the garlic into the food processor. Add parsley and process until chopped. Add chickpeas, peppers, olives, tahini, lemon juice, and pepper sauce. Blend until smooth. Serve with pita wedges and raw vegetable sticks.
