Place the beans in a food processor. Blend to a smooth consistency, adding the lemon juice and tahini a little at a time.
3
Add the roasted red peppers, onions, garlic and spices (don't forget the salt). Check the thickness of the hummous.

If it's too thick for it to properly blend, then add a little garbanzo water at a time, until it's reached the thickness you prefer.

Transfer the hummus to a bowl. Mix in the chopped parsley in with a wire whisk. Taste and adjust seasoning.
