How to Make Chickpea And Pepper Sandwich Spread

  1. Combine 1 red bell pepper (finely chopped), 1/2 red onion (finely chopped), 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, salt and pepper to taste in a food processor or blender.
  2. Blend until smooth but not completely pureed – you want some texture.
  3. Add 1 (15-ounce) can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained, to the bowl. Gently mash with a fork until some chickpeas remain whole for a satisfying crunch.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lemon juice for extra zing or a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat.
  5. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Enjoy on your favorite bread, crackers, or wraps!
