Hey all,
Because Joanne asked and because it has cayenne in it (so its pseudo on
topic) here is the hummus recipe from the Moosewood Cookbook.

Hummus
2 to 3 cloves garlic, sliced
large handful of parsley
2 scallions cut into 1 inch pieces
3 cups cooked (2-15 1/2 oz cans) chick peas
6 Tbsp tahini
6 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
salt to taste (3/4 to 1 tsp)
optional: cayenne and a little cumin to taste

Place garlic, parsley and scallions in a food processor or blender and
mince.  Add chick peas, tahini, lemon juice and salt and puree to a thick
paste (for a more coarse hummus mash by hand instead of processor).  Season
to taste with cayenne and cumin.  Transfer to a tightly lidded container
and chill.
yield: 3 1/2 cups
