Dear Culinary SOS: A group of us went to enjoy the draft beers on tap at Mediterraneo Restaurant & Bar in Hermosa Beach earlier this month and were transfixed by the wonderful spicy black bean hummus. If you can get the recipe ... spice-loving vegetarians would love it.

Dear Michael: Mediterraneo was happy to share its recipe with us. The twists on this hummus include black beans and cayenne, which add depth to this rich and spicy dip.
