Description:

This is the first entry that I haven't, as of writing this entry, personally prepared. However, I've tasted it, it was prepared in my home, and the photo I'm using is of the product that was created here.

Lee-Anne made it. It was one of the appetizers that we made for last New Year's Eve. I decided to make blueberry tarts, soft pretzels, and hummus. I was going to use the recipe from the Hummus a Tune entry in the Bob's Burgers cookbook, but Lee-Anne decided I needed help. She had a recipe from her mother's cookbook, and on tasting, I have to admit that it was probably the superior hummus.

Seemed like a recipe worth coming back to, so I'm putting it here.
