Truly is the best hummus. We love it. Of course, I love sesame so that helps.

I just made your hummus for the second time. However this time it’s just not as smooth. What could I have done wrong this time?

If I can find roasted garlic, I use that instead of raw garlic. As far as boiling chickpeas, it depends on which brand of garbanzo bean I buy. Some are already soft and some are not. I substitute lime juice instead of lemon juice. I’ve also substituted avocado oil instead of olive oil.

Toasted Sesame Oil is what makes fried rice taste like “FRIED RICE” for me, so it was difficult to think about trying that oil to make hummus, but it is delicious.

In reply to Maria. Hello, I love it. I don’t add garlic due to food sensitivity in the family and I’m thinking it’s a little salty and bitter for most. Any ideas as to how to balance the flavours….thanks!

I made this recipe just the way it reads and it turned out perfect. I did opt for the additional sesame seed at the end. yum. Made veggie hummus sandwiches and consistency perfect. I agree with Natalie, blending tahini, lemon juice, garlic, etc ahead of time- big diff! Thank you!

Absolutely amazing! Initially my hummus was a little thin, but I added a half teaspoon chia seeds and let it sit over night which resulted in a wonderfully creamy texture. I also used TJ’s Everything But the Bagel seasoning instead of sesame seeds- yum!! I will definitely be making this again soon!

I think this is my favorite of your hummus recipes! Just adding the 1/2 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil makes an amazing difference in the taste. Staying home and missing my favorite Dizengoff Hummus. (Michael Solomonov’s hummus store in Philly) but yours really does the trick. I bought 5 pounds of dried chickpeas last week and a bag of lemons in preparation for being at home. Glad I did. I just used up the last 1/4 cup of tahini I had, but was able to order more Soom brand on Amazon. Thankful for your recipes Kate to help us through this surreal time. Be well Kate and family. #stayhome.
