We haven't found it, and we have looked. The closest thing we have found
is Khushkananaj: pastry (not the very flaky kind) with a filling of ground
almonds, rosewater, and sugar. The recipe is in our _Miscellany_; the
original is from al-Bagdadi (13th c. Middle Eastern).
We haven't found hummus bi tahini, either. Chickpeas are common
ingredients in period Islamic cooking, and sesame oil is certainly used,
but I don't remember seeing mention of sesame tahini, let alone the
combination.
Do your people have access to period Islamic cookbooks? If not, let me know
and I can provide references.
