Recipes: Black Sesame Hummus

 Black Sesame Hummus
 

Here's a recipe for hummus that is out of the ordinary thanks to the use of Black Sesame oil. Frankie Harvey's passion for cooking began as a child. Growing up in a large Lebanese family of twelve aunts and uncles and dozens of cousins, family time revolved around cooking and nurturing relationships through food. This is one of the recipes that results from that passion.
