The sesame oil seemed an incompatible note to this mixture. I'd make it again without it, and let the chickpeas be coarser than in my first effort, so it doesn't seem like hummus + tuna.

Used 1/2 the water and a round serrated chopper to blend, I prefer it coarser. Had no sesame oil and used olive which worked nicely. Cilantro and tuna provided s nice change from classic hummus.

This looks like cat food but tastes pretty good (did not use sesame oil) - stick it in a pumpernickel sandwich with some bread and butter pickles and you might have something (may help to be pregnant).
gretchen
Used a whole can of tuna by mistake but still not sure I’d make this again.prefer tuna alone or hummus alone.

I make this with parsley, not coriander, and oil-packed tuna. If uisng homemade chickpeas, measure 2 cups. Put it over toast for an open-faced sandwich for lunch. A long-time favorite and also works using an immersion blender.
