Re: The person who likes Red Pepper hummus... it's usually made with regular hummus and just about a half of a roasted red pepper, but you can add to taste. You still need the chick peas if you want it to taste like what you've bought in the store/had at restaurants. I come from an Arab family that would say its not hummus if there's no tahini, but I'll tell you a little secret, a bit of peanut butter comes pretty darn close to the taste of the real stuff. And I second the lemon recommendation. Thanks for the re pepper hummus advice, Kate. And I second the lemon juice - I used to add it, but more times than not I didn't have a fresh lemon in the house, so gradually, I started leaving it out... but it's definitely good. PJH
