- Stir the tahini until smooth, then add it to the blender and puree the mixture for a few more seconds.

Notes
The hummus should be made 1 or 2 days in advance to allow flavors to mellow.
Thank you for posting this recipe! I am a huge fan of Mediterranean food and I am constantly on the hunt for new and exciting recipes! Keep up the good work!!!
I made hmuums with black beans and Cannellini beans that turned out quite good. Have never used tahini in any of my hmuums as it is expensive and a bit hard to find where I live. I once took some quite garlicy chickpea hmuums to a potluck. People complained it was too garlicy but ate up mine because the other hmuums brought to the party was just too bland. I am a garlic freak.
Gus also uses garlic quite often in his recipes. Please check back often to see our new and exciting recipes.
