I had never heard of that, but it looks like something to try.
I guess you could use it with Sour Cream as a dip, the same way you use the dry Lipton Onion Soup.
(Yes, Tahini needs a strong hand ;-)
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?
