One more exam until thanksgiving! So excited for the holidays, not so excited about the $$$ tickets to fly back to LA. Which is why I will spend thanksgiving in Richmond staring at pictures of cats. Although, I will be able to commiserate with my roommate and other desolate Cali people and have a friendsgiving away from home. Yay!
Anyhoo, I finally coughed up the money to buy tahini. I don't get why it's so expensive and why it's such an essential ingredient in hummus! Gad, it imparts such a deep and yummy flavor. I tried making hummus without it and just threw in some sesame oil. Needless to say, it wasn't the same :(
This recipe adds olive oil only when you're ready to serve it. Which apparently is the way to make it and it is super super smooth. Enjoy~

Even though tahini is expensive, a little goes a long way in terms of flavor! Your hummus looks great!
ReplyDeletethanks! I'm excited to make dressing out of it too!
ReplyDeleteI was able to find tahini at our local Safeway store in Hawaii and its actually not that expensive here.
