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.

SOOOO DELICIOUS! This is my second time making hummus and this recipe was amazing! I loved it with the pita chips and it tasted fine without the feta cheese as Buglet's Mom mentioned. Will make again. I'm so excited to add this to my personal favs!

    Excellent, excellent, excellent!! I tend to leave out the feta, simply because I don't usually have it on hand. The taste is identical to what I buy at my local market, and it's SO much more economical to make it myself. Thanks, 1Steve, for a fantastic recipe!

    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!
