Hummus with Roasted Red Chiles

[Guest guest]

I was just going to make this for lunch, minus the

yogurt and thought I would pass it on.

 

Karen posted this a long time ago, digest 158, and I

am making it for lunch today. I made homemade pita

bread last week and need to use it up. Also, I have

dried New Mexican chiles and I have re-hydrated them

so I will use them in this.
