This recipe interests me in two ways – one, it has been made in a Very Western style using Mediterranean ingredients. There aren’t many Mediterranean recipes around so this one excites me. Hummus style recipes are very tasty for me. Originally meaning chick peas, hummus is very nutritional and quick to do. I make them for spreads but see this recipe introduces me to something new.

Great recipe- I made it and it is so easy and delicious! I really love hummus and it a good idea to have an alternative to tahini as I rarely buy tahini but often have sesame seeds available for other recipes. I also learnt that chickpeas are garbanzo beans which I have never heard of before. I will definitely make it again- so healthy and delicious.

I love hummus. I typically add olive oil to my version, but I don’t think it is essential. Thanks for sharing your version!

The best part of this recipe is it is a basic hummus, you can add red pepper flakes, more lemon juice or other herbs or sprices for extra flavoring as you please!
