Directions
Heavenly Hummus, I love hummus and this recipe is one of the best I’ve tried I like to spread it on pita triangles and top with cucumber, chopped kalamata olives, and feta I think the homemade tahini paste makes it much better , I was really excited to try this recipe because I love hummus and there have been so many great reviews I hate to be the lone dissenter, but this did not work for us at all First, the tahini paste turned out way too liquidy possibly because the ingredients state 1/2 cup of water while the instructions say 1/4 cup? I salvaged it by taking the excess water off the top of the paste and made the rest of the recipe as stated The hummus was very soupy, not the texture I am used to, and this was after only adding 3 tbsp of olive oil Also, the lemon and tahini flavors were way too overpowering for us , used lime juice instead of lemon, as we like it better, and this is delicious hummus that was much enjoyed!
