Name of Recipe: Hummous – not tested
This is the first recipe I have come across that does not use tahini JB
Tablespoons are European ones, ie, 3 teaspoons
Serves: Not stated
Ingredients:
250g cooked chickpeas
125g natural yoghurt
½ lemon
1 clove garlic
2 tbsps sesame oil
½ tsp ground cumin
2 tsps paprika
Salt
Pepper
Chopped parsley
Preparation:
Squeeze the juice from the lemon half and peel the garlic clove.
Put all of the ingredients, except the parsley and 1 of the teaspoons of paprika, in the *:.
Blend at Speed 4 until smooth. If it is too thick, you can add a little cold water.
Leave to chill in the fridge for a few hours so that it will achieve the desired consistency and flavour.
When serving, garnish with the parsley and the remaining teaspoon of paprika.
Tips/Hints: This thick sauce or purée is a recipe from the Near East. There, it is eaten with pitta bread or accompanied by raw vegetables such as carrots, celery sticks or julienned red peppers. You can substitute the sesame oil with tahini (sesame paste), which you can get from specialist shops.
Origin: This is a translation of a recipe in Salsas y Aliños con Thermomix (Susaeta Ediciones)

i think its the 2 tbsps sesame oil that would give the taste, i like the idea of using the oil . i will try it next time that i make Hummous

I shall certainly try it this way. I find tahini difficult to work with as it separates and it is hard to get it to mix up properly.
