spinach and roasted red pepper hummus

this turned out so good! the original recipe called for a handful of fresh parsley. i didn't have any, so, instead i substituted a handful of fresh spinach. i also had half of a red pepper in the fridge so i decided to throw that in, too! i roasted in the oven very simply; just placed the pepper on a baking sheet and put it in a pre-heated oven (450*). when the skin began to blacken i took it out, cooled it and peeled the skin off.
