Great hummus! I love spicy food and this was right on the money! I did however omit the cayenne so as to actually taste the hummus flavor along with the jalapeno. I think this recipe is just as tasty without the cayenne.

Good recipe BUT...be forwarned that is is VERY spicy. We cut the cayenne and black pepper back to 1 tsp. each and like it much better.

This hummus recipe is delicious, and was a hit at a party I recently made it for. It works well served w/ toasted pita cut into wedges.

This recipe is great, only the amount of cayenne pepper and black pepper is way too much. Cut those by about 2/3 and you should have a tasty and well-presented snack or appetizer.

This was a HUGE hit!! The first time I made it, I left out the banana peppers and garlic and cut the cayenne and black pepper in half. It was alot prettier and not as spicy but the 2nd time I followed the recipe and it was so good. Very, very spicy but so flavorful!

I had high hopes, but was disappointed. The heat was fine, but something was off. I'm not sure whether it needed more tahini or chick peas.

Incredibly good! My husband and I made this last night and only used about half of the hot ingredients. We added the hot stuff in stages and quit when it was full of flavor, but not burning hot. The next morning the flavors had melded together for an extra kick. Great stuff!

This is a really tasty dip. I modified a little though b/c I wanted to be able to taste the dip and not just HOT. The only change I made was to add another 16 oz. can of garbanzo beans and just used a tsp. of cayenne pepper and black pepper. Cuts the fire in half. Great as a dip for fresh veggies!
