Comments: Very easy to make, I used extra garlic knowing that our guests don't mind it. It was a hit and I was asked for the recipe, so they have that and also this site.

Comments: This is really easy and very good. Tastes better than store bought and cheaper too. I used dried red peppers that I had been drying instead of canned jalapenos. Nice kick.

Comments: Super easy recipe. I served it with some shredded chicken,lettuce,tomatoes,black olives, and pita pockets. We all enjoyed the meal and I will be using this recipe from now on. I used one fresh jalapeno but next time I will use two or three. I like my food spicy!

Comments: This is a great recipe. It was a hit at my party. I'll be making this again. I didn't have jalapenos, so I used fresh roasted green chilies. It was great!

Comments: I jumped on this site to find some fast and easy appetizers for the Olympic opening ceremony party we had been invited to. This is a group that likes different and fancier things, but I needed fast and easy due to lack of time. The ingredients came to less than $5 with the Greek pita bread. I did try to make it in a blender ( not a good idea), but once I put it in a food processer it all went great. Was delicious. I got a lot of complements and will definitely make it again. Took less than 5 minutes to make. Really great appetizer!
