    Made a "pizza" for my husband tonight - grilled a wheat pita, spread it with hummus (a spicy 3 pepper), then topped with warm roasted chicken (roughly chopped). Loved it!

    2 whole red bell peppers (substitute about 3/4 cup chopped jarred roasted red peppers)
    One 15-ounce can (425 grams) chickpeas, also called garbanzo beans
    1/4 cup (59 ml) fresh lemon juice, about 1 large lemon
    1/4 cup (59 ml) tahini
    Half of a large garlic clove, minced
    2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    Pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
    1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt, depending on taste


    This is the website I got it from. http://www.inspiredtaste.net

    I have made this and it beats store bought hummus!!

    I am able to find it at most of my local grocery store, try the health food section. It can also be called sesame seed paste.

    I just made this yesterday & it's very tasty. I had to add extra liquid though.

    I recently made a Pea Hummus. I wanted to see if I could cut down on calories and fat.

    So I used blanched peas 32 oz bag, 10 cloves of garlic ( love the stuff), fresh parsley and cilantro, juice from a lime, salt and pep to taste, and since tahini is what puts the fat in hummus I used a 5.3 oz container of nonfat Greek yogurt. Whized it up in the food processor...Delish!!

    also this sounds weird but try a grilled cheese with hummus in it, the cheese and hummus melt in together and it makes an amazing sandwich

    Brilliant!

    Was wondering if a bit of sesame oil might be a suitable substitute for the tahini?
