Sounds weird, but it's really good-Peanut Butter Hummus

Well tonight is leftover night.  So, I thought I would post a surprisingly good recipe I made for NYE.  Our friend Missy bought Philly The Ultimate Peanut Butter Book (Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough) for his b-day.  He loves peanut butter. How did she know this???  We busted him one day having a snack with a jar of peanut butter and a spoon.  I have to add, this is the one recipe he didn't want me to make and wanted to rip it out of the cookbook before he got the book home.  This shows how much I hang on his every word.
Peanut Butter Hummus
One 15 oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 large garlic clove, chopped
1/2 c lemon juice
1/4 c creamy peanut butter
1 tsp yellow or red curry powder
3 to 4 dashes Tabasco sauce

Place everything in a food processor and puree until smooth.  I served it with pretzel thins.

An alternative is to substitute cumin for the curry.

Enjoy!
