This creamy garlic and jalapeño hummus is not for date night. The intensity of the garlic insists that this dip or spread be used only in very familiar company. The freshness of parsley and the warmth of green chilies amp up the flavor here, making grilled vegetables, meats, or even just plain pita bread taste…

Many cultures take credit for hummus, but the exact origins are lost to antiquity. The dish is an integral part of Middle Eastern cuisine but also appears throughout the Mediterranean region and in parts of India. Part of the reason for this broad global appeal is the power of the chickpea. Filled with zinc and…
