The Tahina of Yuval Königstein, produced in Herrsching on Lake Ammersee, is addictive. I speak from my own experience: After opening the sweet version of the Tahina, with fig, the glass was half empty within a few moments. The reason for this: The serotonin level is raised by the L-tryptophan-rich sesame, general well-being occurs. And the desire for more. Vegetarians and vegans in particular benefit from sesame. Tahina is rich in vitamins B1, B2 and B6, contains a lot of calcium (783 mg per 100g) and provides the body with persistent energy.
My favourite hummus recipe: Peas, tahina and mint
The peas hummus comes up with such colourful green. Especially in summer, I prefer this variant to the traditional hummus of chickpeas. As a dip for pitabrote in all variations, as a companion to grilled vegetables or meat, for wraps or as a topping for bowls with lots of fresh vegetables, herbs and salads. In winter I like the original again.

PEAS HUMMUS
Zubereitung
- Cook the peas in boiling water with a pinch of soda (so the peas remain bright green) for one to two minutes until thawed and soft. Drain, scare off into ice water and place in a pureer jar or blender.
- Remove the leaves of the mint and cut into small pieces.
- Add tahina, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin and salt to the container and mash or mix the whole thing into a savory mass. Season with salt and, if necessary, more cumin, stir in the mint and serve the same way.
