Tips & Tricks

No tahini? No problem! Here’s an alternative. All you need is 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds and a little olive oil. Put a little olive oil in a skillet and toast the raw seeds over medium heat, taking care not to burn them, about 5 minutes. Let cool. Then blend together with the other ingredients to make the hummus. You'll see how delicious it turns out.
