Middle Eastern style spread for Pita bread. This recipe is very tasty and easy to make. This is a very popular dish in this region. The base is usually Chickpeas and Tahini, but the flavor added to the base vary widely from one chef to the next. Tahini is a sesame paste, you can usually find it in the Mediterranean section of your grocery store.

This was an excellent hummus. Very flavorful, and very easy to prepare. I brought it to a dinner party last night, seved with toasted bagel chips, and received many compliments. I thought the proportions of cayenne and cumin were perfect and did not find it to be very spicy. However, a few people commented (positively) on the spiciness, which I really hadn't noticed, so if you are serving guests with a sensitive palate, you might want to cut back a little on the cayenne. I, however, will continue making it as posted. Thanks for a keeper, Steve!

Made this today (Thurs.) to take to a get together on Saturday, will probabley have to make another one befor Sat.I love Hummus and I love Red pepper dip, so this is a keeper in this house. I found it very easy to make, next time Imay cut back a little on the cayenne if i'm making it for a variety of people. I love hot but I know some of my friends don't, but its an excellent recipe. Thank you.

Oh man! I will be making this one again and again.
What wonderful texture and taste - the cayenne and garlic give it a great bite and the roasted bell pepper contrasts it with just a hint of sweetness. Scooped with some toasted whole wheat pita triangles and you've got a winner. Thanks Steve!
