Curry Currant Hummus

Canadian Cookie's Note:

This is such a fantastic spin on traditional hummus. Try to make this several hours in advance if possible, the flavors will be much brighter and the currents will soften. Serve this with tortilla chips or pita bread. Add more garlic if you wish - Enjoy!

I have to agree with the poster of the recipe. Such a unique take on hummus. Delightfully different would be how I'd describe it. The curry plays well with chickpeas and the currants are delcious bursts of sweetness that make my palate happy. I will absolutely, definitely be making this again. Thanks so much for sharing!
