Spicy Hummus: Quick Chickpea Spread (Rachel Ray) image

This got many rave reviews on the other site. However, most said it was too thick. So some added about half the liquid from the canned chick peas, a little more olive oil and more lemon juice. I think some roasted red pepper would be good. Good basic recipe that you can adjust to taste, for our tastes I will most likely add more of the seasonings, and add a dash of cayenne too.
