Red Pepper Humus/Curried Mushroom Turnovers

I still had quite a bit of chickpeas left so I took the easy way out and made humus. I've made the curried mushroom turnovers before and you can find the recipe HERE.

Doing a bit of reading, it seems that humus is frequently made with peanut butter as a less expensive substitute for tahini. That did make me wonder if soy or sunflower butter would work for people with allergies, and I'm tempted to give it a try next time.

For The Humus:

4 cups cooked chick peas

1/4 cup tahini

4 tablespoons of olive oil

1 small handful of parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice

water as needed to thin

1 roasted red pepper, coarsely chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

salt and pepper to taste

Olives to garnish

Toss it all in the food processor and thin with water until you have the desired consistency.
