Instructions
Cut the bell pepper in half and remove the seeds.
Place the pepper on a baking sheet, cut side down, and roast under the broiler in the oven until the pepper’s skin is black and blistered.
Place the pepper in a bowl and cover with a clean dish towel.
Set aside.
In a blender or food processor, blend the lemon juice, garlic, and salt.
Add the tahini and blend until it is thick and smooth.
Add the ice water while the blender/food processor is running and continue to blend until the tahini is light colored and fluffy.
Peel the bell pepper and roughly chop.

While running, drizzle in the olive oil until combined.
Refrigerate or serve immediately.
Notes
If you prefer a plain or different flavored hummus, just leave out the red bell pepper.
