Easy Homemade Tahini and my Favorite Hummus Recipe
Did you know that it takes only two simple ingredients to make your own homemade tahini? Also imagine a homemade hummus made with your own tahini with no additives and as fresh as it can get!
Tahini or tahina is a Middle Eastern condiment made from sesame. It can be served by itself as a dip or as a major ingredient in various dishes and mezze such as hummus, baba ghanoush and halva. It's also perfect to combine with grape molasses which is a staple in a traditional Turkish breakfast.
Hummus, also a very popular dip or meze throughout the world, is widely available in supermarkets. However, homemade hummus without any additives is always my favorite and never buy hummus anymore since it's so easy to make and takes only minutes. Even better and satisfying if you make it with a homemade tahini!
Let's see how you can make tahini and hummus at home, the best you ever had!
