Tomato Pesto Hummus


1 15oz. can pinto beans
1 15oz. can red kidney beans
1-2 lg. cloves of garlic
½c roasted red pepper pieces
¼-½c or more good olive oil
2T white balsamic vinegar


3-4T sun dried tomato pesto
a little water if needed
1½t ground cumin
½t garlic sea salt
½t granulated roasted garlic
½t fresh ground black pepper



Drain and rinse the beans.  Combine all the ingredients in your food processor.  All at once, or in smaller batches, depending on the size and power of your processor.  When everything is as smooth as you want it, let it stand for an hour. During this time the beans will absorb a lot of the flavors.  Taste it after an hour, you may need to add more seasoning.  Serve with pita or falafel chips, or vegetable strips.  This also makes a great replacement for mayonnaise on a sandwich. . .Lin
