Homemade hummus tastes great like none other and I love making it. However, in our tiny Italian village, it’s impossible find its core ingredient: tahini.
However, a friend of mine found some in a little ethnic shop in downtown Rome and brought me a little jar. ((And I recently discovered that you can buy Tahini
Of course we had to make some homemade hummus right away. Here is a delicious hummus recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of dried chickpeas
- 1-2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
