Hummus is quick and easy to prepare, and high in protein. Use for dipping with cut vegetables, or as a healthy and delicious substitute for mayonnaise on a sandwich. Tahini is, essentially, sesame paste. Two ounces of a hoppy Pale Ale adds a hint of spice and herb to the hummus (and leaves 10 ounces for the chef.)
INGREDIENTS
-
1 15-ounce can chickpeas (drain and rinse)
-
4 tablespoons tahini paste

Kosher salt to taste

1/2 ounce extra virgin olive oil
