  1. Excellent recipe, makes capital hummus with a nice, creamy consistency. Ironically, I finally found the tahini in my grocery store the day after I tried this. Right next to the matzoh balls and Shabbat candles, not in the Mediterranean section where I expected it... Anyway, I'll definitely hold on to this recipe in order to keep costs down. Thanks a lot!
     
  2. I needed a quick hummus recipe, but I couldn't find tahini ANYWHERE. I've never bought it before so i'm probably just overlooking it so i settled for toasted sesame seeds and hoped i could find a good recipe using them. I'm so glad i found this recipe! It was very easy and everyone loved it! I followed the recipe exactly but added a little bit of ground cumin because the flavor was very subtle (which is what i was going for). I will definitely make this again. So much easier than running around looking for the stupid tahini=D
     
  3. this is what i meant to say, a hummus that does NOT require going to the store, paying a million bucks for tahini, when I can find it and stirring the stuff for a long time until you can use. the recipe was delicous and tasted as if tahini was used, authentic and creamy.
     
  4. I got this Hummus recipe out of Betty Crocker cookbook. Super easy and DELICIOUS!!!Served with pita chips
     
  5. I was introduced to hummus at trader joes and the flavors there are amazing. Expecially the garlic and the red pepper. This recipe really tastes like sesame seed and nothing else. It was also too thin, I'll keep looking for a recipe that tastes more like trader joes!! Thanks though!
