- For the Red Pepper Hummus, in a large non-stick saucepan char the red pepper cubes until slightly softened. Place directly into a food processor with the olive oil, garlic, chickpeas, and lemon juice. Pulse until a chunky paste is reached. Adjust the seasoning with lemon juice and salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
- Heat a flat top or griddle pan, brush olive oil onto the bruschetta. Lightly toast and remove from heat.
- Top the lightly toasted bruschetta with a heaped teaspoon of red pepper hummus, top with sliced olives and then with two McCain Cheese Shotz.
- Garnish with wild rocket. Serve immediately.
