Homemade Hummus

In the spirit of Whatever Is In the Kitchen, I'm returning with a recipe I had to make my own. In the grocery store the other day, a 12 oz carton of hummus was $6.50 and I said to myself, "I can make it cheaper." So I bought a red bell pepper for a buck and a can of garbanzo beans for just a little more than a buck and went home equipped for my delightful dip.

Or so I thought.

You see, I've never made hummus, so I didn't know that there was a very special ingredient: tahini. Unfortunately, even if I had known, it wouldn't have been available to me here in the hinterlands, so I offer you my lovely, better-than-storebought, tahini-free hummus.
