The best hummus you can buy comes from Ravagh in NYC. I’ve tried (and failed) several times to replicate it but I couldn’t achieve the full flavor. The other day, I purchased a package of 14 jalapeños for $1.00 and desperately needed a way to use them. I found a jalapeño hummus recipe that looked great. A little tweaking elevated the recipe to on-par-with-Ravagh level. This isn’t a copycat recipe for Ravagh hummus as much as its just a recipe for some kick-ass hummus – good enough to make you forget all about Ravagh (how do you even pronounce that?). The roasted jalapeños add incredible flavor, but surprisingly don’t add much heat – a lot of the spiciness dissipates during the roasting process. Of course there’s also the peanut butter, which makes this my new favorite hummus. Try it, and tell me if you’ve ever had better.
