If you want to compare something to peanut butter, check out tahini. It’s basically peanut butter made out of sesame seeds, and even has a (kinda) similar flavor profile. Tahini and grape jam is delicious.
Mixed with cocoa it makes a nice hazelnut-free alternative to Nutella.
I think hummus contains tahini.
It does. And in a pinch, if I run out of tahini, I’ll make hummus with peanut butter.
Did you like the peanut butter hummus?
I don’t have the most subtle sense of taste, but for me it’s a nearly un-noticeable difference.
