Rinse and drain Chick Peas and add to a food processor fitted with an S-blade.

Add garlic.

Place lid on processor and turn on highest speed.

Slowly pour water into the chute while processor is running – adding just enough to create a smooth consistency. (You may not need to use all of the water.)

Add roasted red pepper and pulse until the pepper is roughly chopped and mixed through the spread.

Scrape spread into a serving bowl or storage container.

Stir in ground black pepper to taste.

Serve immediately or store in sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 or 5 days.
