I followed the recipe exactly. The hummus had no flavor so I added more lemon juice and more garlic. The chile oil was also bland bland bland. If I made it again, I would let the chiles sit in the oil for a longer time before straining them out. The eggplant did not taste good and I really like eggplant! horrible from the start! Would leave zero stars if possible.

This was a wonderful alternate pizza for a neighbor that is a vegetarian. I cut off time by using store bought hummus and red chili oil. The eggplant was so good it tasted like steak. The pizza is awesome!
