Well, I started with this recipe, except I sauteed the onions and garlic in a little olive oil and it was a little bland, no kick. I had half a can of garbanzo beans so I added that and about 3 more cloves garlic. Still not what I wanted. I then added abut a tbls. of capers, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and a squeeze or two more of lime juice. Now it's yummy! I didn't know how to rate this due to all the changes so I'll just leave this as a comment. I had fun experimenting with this recipe!

This was just okay. I thought the raw onion and garlic had too much "bite" and should have been cooked first. I also think it would work much better in my food processor because the blender just threw the ingredients onto the sides and I kept having to scrape it down for anything to touch the blades. I probably wouldn't make it again, but it wasn't bad.
