  Made it twice already as couldnt get enough of it first time around - loved it! Added an additional onion and an extra 1/2 tbsp tahini on the 2nd attempt and preferred it.

  I found that the fennel and red onions gave this hummus an unpleasant, overpowdering sweetness. Not my taste at all. If you like traditional hummus flavours I would stay away from this recipe or you may end up washing it all down the sink as I did!

  Didn't have any fennel seeds but tasted fantastic without them.

  I found I needed way more olive oil otherwise it was too dry.
