Any tips for getting more flavour out of dried beans? Is it an issue of salt?

I ran out of tahini once, but I had sesame seeds, so I just toasted them and ground them up to make my own tahini. Since then I've always done it that way! I don't use cumin though, and the paprika is saved for sprinkling on top at the end (with a drizzle of olive oil). Yum. Now I'm hungry. :) I used to buy hummus until I realized how easy it was to make at home (all the ingredients are always in my kitchen).

I was told (by one of these restauranteurs) that the secret to really good and creamy hummus is to take the skin off of the chick peas. Like Ann, I'm also a big fan of Baba Ganoush but I've never tried making it. Thanks for the recipe(s)!

I've never found a need for a full 1/4 c. of oil. . . Roast (and then peel) red peppers and add them in for extra flavor, color, and veggie nutrition. Roasted, peeled eggplant substituted for the chickpeas is an easy Baba Ganoush recipe. Substituting some (or all) of the olive oil with sesame seed oil really improves the flavor.
