Cuisine - Hummus pg 2 10-4-12


Greetings.  This recipe for hummus has a bit of a kick from the chipotle pepper, a subtle smoky flavor from the paprika, and a lovely rosy color.  Although typically served as an appetizer, it would be fine for lunch, paired with an assortment of raw veggies or fruit.
