    I normally use some tahini paste or sesame seeds in mine....ran out of chickpeas last week and used butter beans....edible but not as nice.

    Have seen a recipe somewhere using peanut butter instead of tahini, never done that so can't tell how it tastes

    Houmous usually has tahini in it too which is a sesame seed paste but still, your recipe sounds good. You didn't mention any salt? Maybe you need to add some to taste and then pass it through a fine sieve if you like the texture smoother.

    I hope that helps a bit!

    Yes, I did include salt and pepper, just forgot to mention. The recipe didn't specific tahini paste, but agree this sounds tasty. Maybe I can leave it in the fridge overnight and pick some up in the supermarket tomorrow. I don't mind the texture so much but the flavour is yuk!!!

    i did some the other day that was horrid (tahini,oliveoil, lemon salt,pepper)
    someone told me it was because i put the olive oil in before using the mixer, when you should stir it in by hand after.
    something to do with olive oil becomming bitter when battered about to much!
    don't know if this had anything to do with it but might help someone!

    Tahini does taste very like smooth peanut butter.
  • Add a few drops of water to it and mix it in, it makes all the difference.

    add some sand and use it as mortar if you have any brickwork needs fixing?? I made hummous once.. i used raw chickpeas, soaked and cooked them whizzed them all up lovingly with the given ingredients..took ages... it was also gross...

    did you use dried or tinned chickpeas?

    I also made Humous - ONLY THE ONCE! It didn't taste like the shop bought one and I had been so excited by being able to produce small quantities and stop throwing out the part that always gets left.

    It's not for me! But then quite a lot of culinary things go that way with me - lack of skill may be to blame!

    If it's tasteless... more garlic!
    We use lots, and lemon juice in ours.
    The coriander seems a bit odd... has it gone a bit green? (I'm biased though, I hate coriander)
