This recipe was fabulous. I don't normally like beets very much and I am addicted to hummous. The color was striking. It was easy to make and very nutritious. I used what some said in other reviews and used a can of chick peas. It worked well. I did still boil them with the onions in order to soften the onions and seep them in the flavor. Cans of chick peas are 15 ounces, which is almost double what the recipe says, so I doubled everything else. When I make it again, I may try with 1-1.5 pounds of beets rather than the 2. I made it for a party and had lots left over. It seems to keep quite well, we've been eating for over a week.
