2. Using the same pan with residual oil in it, set heat to medium-high then add the garlic. Sauté until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
3. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, previously cooked garlic and mushrooms, then 1/4 cup water to a blender or food processor. Blend on low, gradually increasing the speed to medium-high (7-8 on a Vitamix), then continue blending for about 1 minute or until mixture is smooth.
4. Add garbanzo beans and 1/4 cup of roasted red peppers to the mushroom-tahini mix, then blend again on low speed, gradually increasing to medium-high, until hummus is smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Adjust per preference, adding the desired amount of additional roasted peppers, up to 1/4 cup more.
