I really liked this hummus, and used four garlic cloves because the head was almost finished and they were all pretty small in comparison to some of the other cloves. I thought the orange was a nice touch and added a bit of sweetness to the heat of the chili. I think, though, a bit less orange flavour would be better, although it was a nice change for me.

This hummus was a bit sweet. I guess I prefer a more traditional hummus. I didn't have any lemons, so I was still glad to find this recipe.

I love hummus and all the ingredients in this recipe but I think the orange was too overpowering. Perhaps using less zest or more acid like mixing in a little lemon juice would help.

This had some really nice flavors. You could taste a little of the orange, chipotle and garlic in each bite. Went well with some pita chips.
