What is Tahini?
Tahini is a paste made from sesame seeds. It is a staple of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking. You can find it the grocery isle usually with the nut butters.
How To Get The Smoothest Creamiest Hummus
This next step is key to getting a smooth, creamy Dill Pickle Hummus. It does takes some extra time. Trust me it is worth it. The trick is you must remove the outer skin before blending. This skin is tough and does not blend well. If you do not remove the skin your hummus will still taste good. However, it will have a thicker, chunkier consistency. Once I discovered this trick I could never make hummus without removing it again.
How to Make this Hummus
- Remove the skin from the chick peas.
- Add ingredients to a food processor.
- Blend until smooth.
- Taste. Adjust seasoning if needed
