Hummus Recipe

[Guest guest]

This is the hummus recipe that will be on the TV Food Network site when the Eat

the Heat show is shown sometime in March. I just had to sign a release for them

to post it at the site. If you don't like chiles, then omit the 1-1/2 tsp of

chile powders. It is good without them but it is sooooo yummy and HOT when they

are included. Also to make it more authentic you should drizzle more olive oil

on the top of the hummus before serving.

non-chile heads and add the habanero to the other half. You'll make both crowds
