I had some store-bought hummus earlier today, and I suddenly came to a startling realization. I have completely spoiled myself with my amazing homemade hummus, and I can’t eat the store bought stuff anymore.

Toasted Sesame Hummus
Author: Miriam Pascal, OvertimeCook.com
Ingredients
- Ingredients:
- ¼ cup sesame seeds
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 cans chickpeas, drained
- ½ cup tahini paste
- juice of 1 lemon (about 3 Tablespoons)
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- To toast sesame seeds: (optional) Preheat oven to 350. Pour the sesame seeds into a small baking pan and bake for 8-12 minutes, until light golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
- To prepare the hummus: In the bowl of a food processor, fitted with the "s" blade, mince the garlic. Add the remaining ingredients (except for the sesame seeds) and puree until almost smooth, but leave a bit of texture. (If you prefer a very smooth hummus, blend it a bit more.) Remove hummus from food processor and place in a bowl. Stir in the toasted sesame seeds, reserving a few for garnish.
Enjoy!
Come back soon, I have a real fun treat for you guys! -Miriam
I like the concept of sesame with hummus- the flavors pair well, and I happen to love sesame anywhere I can put it! Looks delish!
i also love the idea of toasted sesame and hummus…great idea!
What a delicious flavor for hummus – I love it!
I must of put too much salt because its too salty. Any way to salvage the chummus?
Hi I really wanted to try this chummus for Shabbos. The blog is denying me access. Would you be able to post it on your site? thank you!
