Expert Tips

Tahini is a paste made from ground sesame seed. One-half cup of sesame seed can be subbed for the tahini. The dip just won't be as smooth as if you'd used tahini.

Swirl the surface of the dip with the back of a spoon, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with cayenne for an inviting appetizer.

Add a signature touch—stir in 1/4 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes for a punch of flavor and color.

Absolutely delicious. Couldn't have found a better recipe. My first try was in a blender. It seized. Then I tried the food processor and it was fine. However, I would have liked it to be smoother so today I will attempt to check the liquid. I like it with green olives or red pepper.
