No really hummus as there is no tahini - just a chick pea dip. No bad, but not exciting. Used 1 tsp. salt, 1/16th cayenne, and 3 Tbsp. olive oil.

The word 'hummus' (حُمُّص‎) means 'chickpeas'. I was heavier on the ginger and olive oil and liked the result. A lighter/fresher taste than the more common chickpeas in tahini (حمص بالطحينة).
