Another great dip which can be accompanied by a colourful veggie tray or whole grain biscuits or rice crackers. You can adjust the 'heat' by adding more cayenne pepper or omitting it. I've also added a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat. Either way, chickpeas are a nutritious food and adapt to many flavour complements.
