Question about hummus

CoryIda

If the point of tahini is to add a nutty flavor, I wonder if nutritional yeast (one of my favorite things on the planet, seriously) would work as a substitute?

I just googled for hummus recipes using tahini...and found these

It's made me hungry now...I love pita with hummus.

We have a product range of dips here in New Zealand called Lisa's and my favourite is the Rocket and Paramesan chunky dip with lemon, red chilli and roast cashews..soooooo nice (don't know the calories on it, as I have only just started MFP)

They also have yummy hummus.

It's SUPPOSED to have tahini, but you can certainly leave it out if you like it better that way.

Just in case somebody doesn't know, garbanzo beans ARE chickpeas. Canned are ok, but you can buy tons of them dried and super-cheap. All you have to do is soak them overnight to use them.
