    I made the red pepper hummus – delicious! I doubled the recipe and used 4-sided container. Perfect results!

    We made the roasted red pepper. We added more garlic but, otherwise followed the recipe. Made it in the twister jar on the designer series using the dough button. Came out really good, maybe a touch less cayenne pepper and don’t forget to reserve some peppers to chop and use as garnish.
