Love this recipe, I have made it twice so far. I did add some roasted red peppers to the last batch and it was amazing. Thanks for posting

    Just loved this Hummus bi Tahina and if you love hummus, I strongly encourage you to try this recipe. Carla’s instructions were clear (really important if you haven’t made hummus before); the recipe was quick and easy to make; and the texture and flavour of the hummus just SO delicious. Over the years, I have made many hummus recipes – and then lost them! – but since finding Zaar I have a means of no longer losing them! So I’ll certainly be making this hummus again. Every hummus is just that little bit different. For me, this recipe had just the right balance of flavours. I garnished my hummus with paprika rather than ground red chilli pepper (personal preference) but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Truly delicious!

    I usually eat hummus as a sandwich spread with lettuce, gerkins, tomato and onion. In this recipe the tahini taste is a bit strong when warm, but it disappears when chilling it. I love it.
