HUMMUS WITH A KICK

A little cayenne for a twist, and just enough turmeric for the color but not enough to dominate the flavor of this hummus variation. A slightly chunky consistency is okay. Garnish with fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil.

HUMMUS WITH A TWIST

I don't usually care for hummus, but when I tried this at my friend's I couldn't stop eating it. It's important to use fresh lemons, extra virgin olive oil, and high quality garbanzo beans--you don't want ones that start out crunchy. I served this with Lavosh bread that was brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper and baked at 350F for 8-10 minutes.
