recipe: Hummus without tahini Hi Angela

[Guest guest]

I have only used tahini or the juice from beans, etc. Did the sesame seeds change the flavor? I would toast the seeds and experiment. Roasted sesame seeds really have a nice robust flavor once they are toasted. I will try this with seeds next time. Inhave a one pound bag of the black sesame seeds. Now those will change the color. I don't always have tahini on hand and it's certainly one of those ingredients I can easily forgot when I'm out shopping. Did you eat it in a sadnwich???? Thanks for posting this.

Hummus with Pureed Sesame Seeds (No Pre-made Tahini Here!) Recipe #86717

 

No tahini and you're craving hummus? No problem! Dig out that bag of sesame seeds lurking in your cupboard and make this wonderful chick pea dip. I wonder if toasting the sesame seeds first would be good... Usually hummus also calls for added oil which certainly does add richness, but lots of calories too. There is no (or little) added fat in this recipe so why not enjoy a healthy dip guilt-free? 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, liquid reserved 1/2 cup sesame seeds 2 cloves garlic, peeled and cut in half (or more to taste) 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon olive oil or vegetable oil (optional) 1 teaspoon salt chopped fresh parsley

2 cups dip

Drain chick pea liquid directly into a blender or food processor. Set chick peas aside. Add the sesame seeds and garlic to the blender, cover, and puree until smooth (3-4 min.). Add chick peas, lemon juice, salt, and oil (if using) to blender. Cover and mix until well blended, stopping and scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. Pour into a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley (if using). Serve with pita chips or wedges.peace, Angela who I am is fine, it's just this body that's disabled!

I don't know, this is the first time i've made hummus and years since I tasted it. milder than I remember but it would be with untoasted seeds.
