Isn’t tahini an integral part of hommus? Not sure about the flavour without tahini, but willing to try it as I don’t often have tahini in the pantry

I usually put in some cloves when I cook them especially here in Bali where the beetroot can be a bit bland!

I’ve never tried making hummus without tahini. Does it taste very different?

  To be honest, not a great deal. My daughter can’t get seseme seeds, so its a regular in our household and when I serve it to visitors they never comment on it “missing” something. Also makes it a budget friendly version of the dip, as the tahini is usually the most expensive ingredient.
