Very disappointed.i followed the directions as written. The onions smelt so good while they were being carmalized but adding the balsamic vinegar changed it. I decided to continue anyway. I found it was lacking in flavour. I have made many other humus recipes that were much more flavourful. I won’t be making this one again
