  1. Excellent recipe! I did add 3 more chipotles. It was delicious and a big hit with my guests.
     
  2. Very good! nice balance of sweet and heat, except for us it needs more heat!! I add about 2 or 3 more chipotles to mine. YUM!
     
  3. Very flavorful that wakes up your tastebuds! Not real spicy but the flavor, yum! A friend let me try some that she had bought at the store for about $2 for a small container and it tasted pretty good but this recipe tasted even better! It beats the $2 little container!
     
  4. Fantastic hummus!! We had tried a chipotle hummus from Trader Joe's recently and I wanted something as good as that one. I'm happy to say I found it on the first try! I looked high and low for tahini, and after not finding it anywhere, I turned to trusty ol' zaar and found a homemade recipe..."Homemade Tahini #73859". I made that in my processor first, took out all but 1/4 cup then finished making the hummus. I was a little skeptical with all the ingredients in this...red peppers, chipotle, and sun dried tomatoes together in one dish?? But it came out delicious and flavorful, with just the right amount of smokey goodness. Served with warm pita bread, mmmmmmmmm...
     
  5. This was fantastic. I added an extra chipolte pepper and some extra sun-dried tomatoes, but I skipped the cumin as I do not like it. This is filled with flavour and so easy to make. My 13 year old came home from school and ate half of it right away. I served it with homemade pita bread. Thanks for such a flavour packed recipe.
