Anne made hummous the other day, which was quite good. Being an experimenter, I made it the next day, but added two chipotle peppers with adobo sauce into the mix. MMMMM, if you can handle spicy food. Recipe follows:

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 1 can chick peas
• Olive oil (amount to be determined later)
• Salt - to taste
• 1-2 chipotle peppers and 1 teaspoon adobo

Procedure:

1. Put lemon juice, garlic, paprika, red pepper, and tahini in a food processor and pulse about 3 seconds.
2. Add rinsed chick peas and process until smooth, adding olive oil in short bursts as necessary.
3. Add chipotle peppers and adobo, and process until combined and smooth.

Enjoy with pita bread and keep some water / beer / yogurt handy!
