Thomas Mitchell on 2015-10-10 (5 stars): Hands down the best hummus I've ever had or made. Simple as can be.
I added some chili paste to it to give it a kick. This will be appearing often at my house, work and family holiday parties. Thanks for the recipe!
Millie// addalittle on 2014-02-28 (3 stars): I'm going to make this this weekend!
Just wondering, I know tahini is pretty essential for a good hummus, but is there anything I can sub it with?
Thanks!
