Hummus

There are as many recipes for Hummus as there are for Gumbo.  All good, just different.  As my Dad said, “I never met a gumbo I did not like” and we are that way with Hummus, we like them all.  The recipe below is one that we use at home and enjoy spicing it up with various indgredients.  We have garnished with roasted sweet red peppers to this recipe.  Instead of peppers you could garnish with pine nuts, garlic, or your choice of ingredients.
