Tahini is $15 a jar here but we love hummus so I often make it without the tahini.
You can use 2 tablespoons more bean liquid in place of 2 tablespoons olive oil if desired.
Hummus is one of my favorite snack foods. I had once tried another tahiniless hummus and didn't like it at all, but this one was delicious! While tahini adds a unique flavor, I didn't even miss it. The seasonings were spot on as written, but I did end up adding a bit more lemon juice, personal preference. So easy to make, and I always have a can of chickpeas in the pantry! I served it with a an extra drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of aleppo pepper.

Made it today, but make my own Tahini paste and used 1/4 C. I buy hulled sesame seeds from local stores here in OH. The 15oz last me a while. You can also find it online, like Amazon. Use 140 grams sesame seeds, toast in a dry pan over medium/med-low heat for 3 minutes, stir constantly till they start to get light golden. Remove and cool completely. Put in a food processor and blend about a minute, till crumbly paste forms. Add 3 TBSP of light oil (your choice) and process 2-3 minutes. Check consistency, If needed add another TBSP oil and process another minute. It makes 1/2 Cup Tahini paste. It's a lot cheaper than 15.00, no chemicals added and better tasting.
not enough spice, i even added more, i think i need to revisit spices, ill try it one more time,
