    Tahini substitute in Hummus?

    Hey everyone, I'm making a yummy dinner tonight and really wanted to make some hummus but I forgot to grab Tahini and don't have any sesame seeds, what else could I put in it OR what is your tahini/sesame hummus recipe?

    I just make it without it if I forget and use the below ingredients

    1 (15 oz) can of organic chickpeas (organic garbanzo beans)) drained
    4 tablespoons organic lemon, juice
    1/4 cup organic extra virgin olive oil
    2 cloves crushed garlic
    1/2 teaspoon sea salt
    1 teaspoon. ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon organic cayenne pepper

    Nigella has a recipe that uses peanut butter instead of tahini... Worth a try?

    Could you use a dash of sesame oil if you have any?

    nice ideas with peanut butter! would try that one if I had any left.. no sesame oil either so I've just left it out, still tastes great, plus I've loaded it up with stacks of Garlic!!
