| Legit. I have no idea what Tahini is, however. ETA Still don´t know exactly what Tahini is, but I´m sure it´s been in most versions of hummus which I´ve eaten. This post was edited on 2/16 at 10:03 pm Reply • Back to Top |
| Increase the tahini 3x. I don't care for cumin in mine. Add a T or two of Italian parsley. Process it and adjust to your taste. Reply • Back to Top |
Posted by Zappas Stache on 2/16 at 10:04 pm to S Looks like recipes I've tried. Never have been able to make a really good humus though.Reply • Back to Top |
| Tahini is a sesame seed paste. It is not "optional" in hummus...it is a main ingredient. Reply • Back to Top |
| is a crock pot necessary or could i maybe get away with using a rice pot on the stove... Reply • Back to Top |
| Tahini is more than optional, it's necessary for hummus. Although I once read you could substitute peanut butter or almond butter for tahini (it's sesame seed butter) Reply • Back to Top |
| WUT? Reply • Back to Top |
Dare I say it...peanut butter is a decent substitute.  Reply • Back to Top |
quote:Sésamo. OK. Sesame seed paste with nothing added? Googled. Yeah, this is most certainly the secret ingredient, as hummus doesn´t taste like lemony garbanzos. This post was edited on 2/16 at 10:13 pm Reply • Back to Top |
| Tahini is sesame paste. It has that distinct (nice) sesame taste. Reply • Back to Top |
| That's what tahini is...sesame seed paste...when you add stuff, you get....hummus. Reply • Back to Top |
| The recipe needs garlic, too. I'd add 2 or 3 pods. Reply • Back to Top |

| Without tahini it's just bean dip. I make several variations, with basil leaves, roasted red peppers, or instead of garbanzo bean I used black eyed peas. It was pretty good, but not really hummus. Reply • Back to Top |
| And, when you put the chick peas in the processor, add the liquid, too. Makes a better texture. Reply • Back to Top |
| What are you cooking? Reply • Back to Top |
| just some hummus to snack w/ pita chips and carrots. TOTN IMHO Reply • Back to Top |
quote:and it's easier to deal with than stirring up the oil in that tahini jar... Reply • Back to Top |
| You don't cook it...just process the ingredients until smooth in the food processor. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
