I have just recently been "introduced" to hummus and I love all the varieties. My favorite part of this recipe was the peanut butter instead of the tahini. It was just a little less bitter. This is my new fav! -
Good! I might have been a bit heavy on the PB and also, I only had dried parsley. I think it will be better after a day or so. Any ideas on how to get a super smooth consistency? I might need a different food processor. Thanks!

Mom of a toddler and preschooler who is finally gaining some proficiency in the kitchen thanks to RecipeZaar. Trying to get some decent skills before the boys can remember me being a bad cook...figure that gives me circa 2 more yrs of practice to start getting things right ;) I'm really interested in large yield HEALTHY recipes that don't use exotic ingredients nd are easy to make ;). Perhaps once both boys are in school I'll try making some more involved recipes!
