Which is a drag, because I’d love to do more with it than make homemade hummus, classic only, no bells or whistles. I suppose if I heated up a bit I wouldn’t have to hand it to the neighbor to mix up :) Maybe a paddle bit in the hand-drill, the ones you mix paint with, with the jar secured by a vicegrip onto the granite?
I think the hard business of stirring the oil back in is still the least messy ;-)
I posted my current favorite use for Tahini a couple of years ago, Roasted Eggplant with Tahini Dressing:

I like to make pesto hummus, chipotle hummus, kalamata hummus (my favorite).
Just make a basic hummus, adding pesto, chipotle in adobo, or kalamata olives to taste, while grinding up the hummus
