Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare ingredients: Drain and rinse the beans thoroughly. If using jarred peppers, pat them dry to avoid excess liquid.
Blend: In a food processor, combine beans, red peppers, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Adjust consistency: If too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of water or extra olive oil. Blend again.
Taste and adjust: Add more lemon juice, salt, or paprika as desired.
Serve: Transfer to a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with parsley, paprika, or a few chopped walnuts.
