Hummus deviled eggs are a tasty twist to this crowd-pleasing appetizer.  Chickpeas are pureed with yogurt, curry powder, and lemon juice until smooth.  This recipe does not use the egg yolks but you can add them to the mixture for richness.  Garnish each egg half with a chickpea, a sprinkling of paprika and alfalfa sprouts.
