This is an absolute favorite of my boyfriend and I's. I've even made mini pizzas with this using toasted french bread, chopped ham and mozzarella to use it as a meal!

Nice and tasty. I was surprised by how well the two flavors played together. The tomato paste and herbs didn't overpower the classic hummus taste at all. Great to serve at potlucks.

This recipe is FANTASTIC. After several attempts - and botchings - of different basic hummus recipes, I decided to give it one last try when I found this in the magazine. I am SO glad I did. I'll still buy plain hummus when I'm in the mood, but I adore this one. I eat it with garlic parmesan pita chips. I served it at a party and my father, who is terrified of just about anything vegetable, absolutely loved it. So that, IMO, makes it a success.
