Yes it does! But I'm wondering...where's the smoky?

 

[melissa-dallas]

The chipotle.

 

[richard-in-cincy]

Yes I see that, but that's it?

And smoked paprika

In that amount and with the garnish, I think it would have a smoky flavor. I am

going to try this soon, and I will get back to you on the results. I am going to make this for the market, and I have a feeling it is going to be a very good seller. The recipe uses smoked paprika as a garnish, so that would add to the smokiness factor also.

You cannot see it because of the smoke... obviously.

LOL. Well, in my defense, they did HIDE the smoked paprika

in the instructions and omitted it from the list of ingredients.

I consider myself a good enough cook to look at a list of ingredients for something simple like hummus and know how to put it together without a detailed reading of the instructions when I am skimming recipes.

Just too much information waiting to go in these days and not enough time.
