Peanut Butter Hummus

Traditional, authentic hummus is made with tahini, a thick paste made from sesame seeds, which is uniquely bittersweet, both creamy and cloying, and can be difficult to come by in some supermarkets. I buy mine from a large independent grocer in town, but when I don’t have it in, I use peanut butter in its place. It’s not an exact match, but it’s pretty close in a pinch.
