The tahini paste (grinded sesame seeds) is what makes the hummus.
I don't think it would be the same without it.
That's what I thought, too! lol I just was asked to make some and realized (after I said yes) that I had everything but Tahini...ran out 
But I made it anyway, for DH and one of our employees...used a few drops of sesame oil (that stuff can make my stomach turn if I use too much of it). It gave a hint of roasted sesames....but nothing like the flavor Tanini imparts. But they actually said it was better than what they have at the Greek restaraunt they go to for lunch a lot. Go figure!! lol 
I, on the other hand, didn't think it even compared. Guess that's men for ya...lol.
