To prepare a sun dried tomato and fennel seed hummus recipe, first you will need to gather your ingredients. First, you'll need the following ingredients: Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Cut the tomatoes in half and scoop out the seeds. Add the tomato juice, olive oil, cumin, salt and pepper to taste. Toss the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated. If you don't have sun-dried tomatoes, then you can use canned tomatoes instead. You can also use frozen tomatoes if you prefer, but they're not as flavorful as fresh tomatoes. Fresh tomatoes can be purchased at most grocery stores, and canned ones can usually be found at your local farmer's market. Depending on how big your tomatoes are, they may or may not be able to be used in this recipe.
