Red Pepper Hummus, Member cielynne

I loved this. I didn't have the tihini but did have some tahina. Instead of raw peppers, I used some smoked jarred peppers. I loved the taste of it. I seasoned to taste rather than followed the season amounts because someone said the cumin was overpowering, although I LOVE cumin. Overall it turned out fantastic.
