Really people? If you're not making Hummus with Tahini, what are you thinking? Please give it a try.
I've combined a few recipes and tweaked it to my own tastes. Here's the recipe I use:
Hummus
Hummus
- 3 cups garbanzo beans, drained (reserve bean juice for blending)
- 1/3 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic [I usually double this]
- 1 TB olive oil
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 sprinkles crushed red pepper
Blend in blender, adding the bean juice to get it to the consistency you want. Place in serving dish and sprinkle with paprika and parsley.
I serve it with sliced carrots, celery and cucumber. It can also be served with pita or chips. It's up to you, but it's a 100% healthy snack or side dish when served with vegetables.

Oh, I keep tahini in my fridge. I just don't use it because of the calories. You also get a smoother hummus if you use olive oil instead of the bean juice, but again, calories. I make Liz call dips without tahini "Chickpea dips" instead of hummus. :)
It is true. I must admit that I don't care but I do try to please James when I can. :)
