More About This Recipe

I must confess that I absolutely love hummus. Ever since I learned to prepare it hummus can always find it in my fridge. I eat it with everything: sandwiches, tortillas, chips, etc. It's perfect for any reunion when served with pita bread or crackers. This version with roasted peppers is one of my favorites. Cayenne peppers give the mixture the perfect spicy touch. Enjoy!
