In a pan add olive oil, spinach, red peppers, and parsley (this is when you would add any meat of your choice), mix well until the spinach wilts. after removing the crust from the oven, let it sit for another 5 minutes to cool. To layer the pie crust you first spread the hummus along the bottom of the pie crust, then a layer of the spinach mixture, a layer of feta cheese and repeat.
