Tips & Tricks
Hummus goes great with pita bread, and you can also serve it with regular bread or Melba toast.
Don't worry if you don’t have any tahini; it's simple to make at home. It couldn't be any easier. You need 2 teaspoons of sesame seeds and 4 tablespoons of water or olive oil (whichever you prefer). Wash the seeds. If the seeds are not already toasted, toast them in a skillet for 5 minutes. Once cool, combine the seeds and the liquid in a blender and blend to a paste. Now you do have tahini.
