It's fine to add heat, but if I were you, I'd leave it on the side and
let people mix it in themselves, e.g., you could serve it with a small
pool of hot sauce in the center and people could take as much or as
little as they wanted.

For a delicious treat, try the Middle Eastern dish of fava beans (know
as "ful" or "foul" or similar transliterations) served with hummous,
e.g.,

When we are in that part of the world, this is our favorite dish, and
it's available at your highway rest stop kind of place as well as at a
real restaurant - and it's all good.
