Author Notes
My family loves hummus! Thus, beginning a quest for creating something so simple into somewhat of an obsession. I always cook my own garbanzo beans in a pressure cooker, but realize most will use the "buy a can" method and that is ok. My 5 year old nephew asked my mother one day if she had any hummus, this was mid-bite into a piece of chocolate. She asked him what it was and he said, "grandma, you eat it with pita!" I have always modified my recipes for hummus as I eat it a lot and want a constant variety. I also wanted to incorporate additional nutritious ingredients and this is one of my favorite. My nephew loves this one without the jalapeno.
