  I must be common too - and wish I hadn't made it - especially not double quantity without at least trying it first! Whooops!

  The essential missing ingredient in this recipe is tahini-sesame seed paste- without it there is no houmous just mashed chick peas. Add 2 tablespoons of tahini and some crushed garlic..even posher!

  The lack of garlic and tahini has already been noted so I'm just agreeing. It's not humous without them.

  Made this for a BBQ, was ok but did lack a certain something, possibly the lack of garlic? However, it seemed to go down well and none was left so couldn´t have been so disagreeable!

  Made this yesterday with tahini and garlic added. Spread it on a plate and drizzled it with olive oil and chopped parsley and mint mixed as they do in N. Africa....Delicious. I guess its all in your taste buds.......PS my guests were almost licking the plate!!!!

  No Garlic + No Tahini = Not Houmous. This is just mashed chickpeas with veg!

  Baltar is right. Drop the tomatoes and onions (you could make simple salad with these instead)
