I read all of these comments and I really don't understand how anyone could say this recipe isn't awesome. It has to be the cut of meat. Ours turned out amazing. It was sooo tender and tasty. I followed the recipe and put the veggies in first. I also added a can of Guinness. The only vinegar I had was rice vinegar so I used that. I also doubled the garlic because we are huge garlic fans. Other than that I did this recipe and WILL do it again. I do have a 6 1/2 qt. crock pot.. I can't imagine using a smaller one... I put everything including the cabbage in the beginning. The cabbage had a wonderful flavor even if it was really tender.

Excellent and easy hummus recipe. I have to say though that when I first made it, it tasted bitter. Once I refrigerated it overnight, the bitterness was gone and it was delicious. I made it exactly according to the recipe.
