1 Can of Chick Peas

1 Lemon ~ Juice & some zest

*Roasting Peppers:   Preheat Oven to 425. Slice the tips off the peppers and remove the stalk and insides.Then place upside down on a foil lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.

Remove from oven immediately and cover with foil for 20 minutes, so the peppers can steep...

While they are steeping...

Add the chick peas, lemon juice & Zest to the food processor...

After steeping for 20 minutes, immediately peel skins off of peppers ~CAUTION~ THEY WILL BE HOT, use a fork to help you, when they are peeled put them in food processor with the chick peas.                                        

  ...or you can buy a jar of roasted red peppers if you don't have the time for roasting!

Here is what the peppers look like after being roasted and peeled.
