HUMMUS - p. 249
I made this with the proportions given in the recipe. I just cooked my chickpeas in the Instant Pot from unsoaked instead of soaking and cooking on the stove. For 1 1/4 cup dried chickpeas, you use the juice of 2 lemons, 3 cloves of garlic, 3-4 tablespoons tahini, and salt to taste. To my taste, this was too much lemon and not anywhere close to enough tahini. And yeah, I could tell that just from reading the recipe, but made it as written anyway. I was actually pleasantly surprised by some of the hummus recipes in Flavors of the Sun even though they had less tahini than I like, so I thought I’d give this one a try and see if I liked it better than I expected to. Nope. It just lacked richness and tasted flat. I did go off on my own and make a topping of pine nuts, tomato, and onion sautéed in olive oil, instead of the plain olive oil topping suggested in the book.
