Guest guest Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Peanut butter is an acceptable substitute for tahini. The taste is very similar. However there are some health benefits to tahini that you won't get in pb, not that pb doesn't have its benefits.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 I've always thought hummus looked and sounded kind of nasty . . . but these recipes are making me think about trying some. I'd say my tastes have definitely changed! (thank goodness) darice_lapierre wrote: My recipe for hommous: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Sorry about the blank post... The recipe in the SBD blue book calls for 2 tsp. They also call for a lot more garlic - 3 cloves. With the cumin and the extra garlic this is best left overnight in the fridge to make sure the flavors mix. BTW - I often put a good dollop of yogurt in to make it creamier. > I love to make hummus, but I've never added cumin -- how much do you use? dd > BTW - no cumin? > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
