Answer 3

Do you have sesame oil?  You can use creamy peanut butter and sesame oil.  

sesame paste = sesame seed paste = tahini = tahina    Pronunciation:    tuh-HEE-nee  Notes:    This is a paste made from ordinary white sesame seeds.  It's used in the Middle East to make hummus, baba ghanouj, and sauces.  The oil tends to rise to the top, so stir before using.  Once you've opened it, store it in the refrigerator unless you plan to use it up within a week or so.  To make your own:  In a blender, mix white sesame seeds with a small amount of peanut oil (or other oil) until creamy  Substitutes:  sesame butter (thicker) OR 3 parts creamy peanut butter + 1 part sesame oil OR toasted sesame seeds (for hummus) OR toasted sesame oil (for hummus) OR peanut butter (for sauces)

Answer 4

Tahini is like a main ingredient of hummus, so you better go out and buy it.
