Not hard either, just soaked the beans for 24hrs and cooked for an hour. SO SO much yummier than canned, I will be soaking those beans all the time now so I can have my falafel fresh....thank you so much, would never have discovered this w/out your blog. Muchas gracias.... I have been meaning to soak some chickpeas and try fresh hummus and falafel – merci, merci, it is even better than I thought it would be.

I buy sesame seeds and roast them in a pan until golden, then use the coffee grinder. Makes great homous with home-prepared chick peas. Any excess tahini I just press down in a jar and cover with a layer of olive oil. It soon gets used up! I agree with Cristoforo that making tahini is not a major problem.

A mortar and pestle works too for those of you with strong hands and medieval lifestyles. Don't worry about tahini, find sesame seeds and make your own with a cofee grinder or something to smash seeds.

Falafel is very cheap here too, and it's both tasty and nutritional (when it's fresh and clean). That's why a whole generation here was grown eating falafel. Musical – yeah, that’s the whole point.

But it's good to know that it is healthy. Here in Jordan, a falafel sandwich is very cheap!

The process is a bit tricky and I have a bit of a struggle with it myself. Anyhow - you simply can't make hummus without tahini. I'm sure you can find tahini in Uruguay, but if not - try our aStore (up on the right). You can find some decent tahini products there which I believe could be sent to you even to Urugway, Good luck.

I love hummus and I'd like to prepare some for myself. The problem is that hummus is not really a tyipical food in this country, so it's very difficult to find tahini. I don't know any place where I could find it. Is there some way of making hummus without tahini? If so, I'd be grateful if you could give me the recipe. Cheers, and thanks again, in advance.
