This was very dry and just didn't have much flavor. I followed the recipe. I interpreted a drizzle of oil to be about 1 teaspoon. It was dry, so then I added some sesame oil and additional crushed chili. It was still very dry. I think that it definitely needs significantly more oil. Also more of the spices would help.

Great hummus on it's own or used as a base to make other hummus styles. My favorite is to add a roasted red pepper.

Best Spicy Hummus I have had. Like others said needed a bit more moisture.
