This is a good recipe for those canned hummuss I could never make taste good! I used Cortas as called for. We don't like spicy so I left out the hot chili sauce but did add a small garlic clove crushed. The garlic was too much probably because it was not roasted so next time I would like to roast some to make it a bit sweeter and then maybe this will be 5 stars. The additional tahini is what helps the cans so don't skip that. I did not add the sun-dried tomatoes on top as I didnt have any. I put chopped up tomatoes and parsley in a well in the middle with a little olive oil and sprinkled sweet paprika on for colour. I will make this again with said modifications.
