novapsycheI made my own hummus today!
I used the immersion blendernetmouse & flinx gave me for Christmas. I'd bought tahini months ago but just got around to actually tackling the task.
The result isn't too bad--a bit thick & bordering on bland. I used a recipe for "Simple Hummus"; perhaps it was too simple. I ended up increasing the lemon juice (not fresh) for flavor as well as moisture; I also increased the salt for flavor.
The major mistake I made was to forget to add the garlic before the chickpeas. I don't know how much that incremental step made a difference, but it's something to note.
More hummus is to follow, no doubt. I love the stuff & would spend way more money on it than the cost of tahini itself (which is a little pricy but should last me the rest of the year).
