If you are as tired as I am with that whole “breaking spaghetti in half makes Italians mad or whatever” meme, let me introduce you to “I make hummus with peanut butter instead of tahini”.
I’m American and even I got this look when I read that sentence.
Even just mashing up roasted peanuts isn’t going to give the same flavor. It probably works texture wise, but I’m certain that my palette would reject the combination of chick peas and peanuts.
I’ve done that. It’s not the worst. To be fair to me, I live in Korea and tahini is prohibitively hard to find. (Chick peas have at least become more common over the years.) Lately, I use olive oil and sesame seeds blended into a kind-of pseudo-tahini instead. It’s definitely better than the peanut butter.
