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 better. In other words, it's a serious step up from your basic hummus recipe.

Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
1/2 cup olive oil

1 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons parsley, roughly chopped
Directions:
- Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saute pan over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic, jalapeño, and tahini and saute until the garlic is golden brown, about 4 minutes.
