Wonderfully flavoursome: just loved the blend of flavours! I added about a teaspoon of lemon zest and used finely minced garlic (2 cloves) and one onion, also finely minced instead of the garlic and onion powder. I suppose I prefer to use real ingredients instead of powders wherever I can, and I figured that since the mixture was going to be processed that this would be fine, and it was. I did drain off some liquid - which I imagine came from the onion - after the mixture had been processed. We thoroughly enjoyed these with hummus and salad greens in pita bread. Thanks for sharing this super recipe!
