Spicy Black Bean Hummus
I absolutely love mezze, especially when there is a little bit of spice involved. In fact, the first thing I order at any lebanese restaurant is Muhammara! I am also a huge fan of Mexican food. So its a no brainer that I would love a spicy black bean hummus! Thankfully, I found one at Q3 at the Media One Hotel in Dubai that was pretty good! But of course, its super easy to make at home as well, so I make this particular one quite often! I served it to some guests at my father's birthday dinner yesterday and most of them were reaching for seconds (always a good indicator)!
The recipe is super easy and can be adjusted for spice level depending on the quantity of jalapeño.
