Very good and easy weeknight meal. I used pre-made hummus that I always have on hand which made it even easier. The addition of mint to the veggie mixture is great and I added a little lemon juice and about a 1/2 tsp of olive oil to add a little moisture and flavor. Will make again!

I made this as directed (although I doubled the recipe), but it was very dry and chunky. I even added more of the chick pea liquid. Plenty of good garlic and lemon flavors. I ended up adding a small pinch of salt and olive oil (I know, not so lo-cal anymore), but it needed something for flavor and texture. I would make again with the additions mentioned.
