Tahini and hummus with everything

Sesame paste is not new to the Middle East, but the rest of the world has finally realised how good it is, with some describing tahini as “the new almond butter”. Foodies are putting it on everything, using it as a traditional dip, as a spread on oat bread and even in desserts. Hummus, too, is being used in desserts (pictured, chocolate hummus). Cocoa, peanut butter, even cookie dough

– it’s all being mixed up with our favourite chickpea snack. Plant-based ice creams made of hummus and tahini are also a thing now.
