I brought some tahini intending to make my own hummus, but when I costed it, it is cheaper to buy ready made. I am sure it would be cheaper to make if I needed lots or had a large family but there is only me that would eat.

Any suggestions what else I could use it for / with

thanks

    I use chickpeas, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, a pinch of salt AND tahini.

    I've heard you can use peanut butter in hummus, which is cheaper and easier to use up, but I've never tried it myself.

    Quite. But to say that tahini is not an ingredient of houmous is incorrect.

    Interesting..when I started to quote you it said something about lasagne and different regions, but by the time I posted it had changed. How odd!

    I said that I had originally purchased the tahini to use for hummous not that it had to be used.
