Sesame Hummus

I came across Artisana Organic Raw Tahini and decided to use it in my hummus recipe. I modified my original recipe Hummus Your Way and came up with a hummus with an enhanced SESAME flavor.

Base Recipe:
2 cups of chickpeas or other white beans (if using a can, 1 can)
2 TBSP lemon juice
4-6 cloves of garlic (depends on size and your taste)
1/2 cup toasted sesame oil
1 tsp ground cumin
2 TBSP Artisana Organic Raw Tahini
1/4 cup water

Instructions:
Blend the ingredients in a food processor or VitaMix (as I use)

Serve:
Garnish with sesame seeds, cracked pepper, or crushed red pepper depending on your desire for heat.
Serve with vegetables, Gluten Free crackers, or as a sandwich spread.

Variations:
Add 1 or 2 roasted red peppers to the base recipe
