I like tahini and harissa in mine. =}

[pinchofcinnamon]

oh, lovely
haven't make it with harissa myself

Here's a recipe you might like if you ever want to try it.
10-12 dried red chili peppers
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground caraway seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin

Throw everything in a food processor and then adjust seasonings for your personal taste. My favorite way to serve hummus is with a combo of chopped cilantro, parsley, and mint, with chopped cucumber, tomatoes, and a bit of feta or goat cheese. YUM.

I'm surprised you don't make your own Tahnini- a world of difference in taste.

[pinchofcinnamon]

interesting! do you make it?

[tudorpot]

Yes, once I learned how easy it was, no turning back. Taste is far better too. I toast the sesame seeds in a small pan, lovely intense flavour.
Also, saves keeping a large jar- it's not sold small - that has to be thrown out before much is used. Google will find you all sorts of recipes/youtube etc.

Wow! Never even thought of that. I'm off to google.

You could do something like this to use up too much tahini: http://www.cooking.com/recipes-and-more/recipes/Sesame-Fork-Cookies-recipe-322.aspx#axzz1j5XgUtOJ

these cookies look good:)
I can imagine you could also make some halwa-like sweets of tahini
