Made from 100% sesame seeds. It is prepared by grinding roasted sesame seeds into a fine paste. Sesame seeds are very rich in poly-unsaturated oils giving tahini its creamy nutty texture.
Historically many Middle Eastern dishes were prepared with tahini. The most famous dishes are Hummus (chickpea dip) and Baba ghanoush (roasted eggplant dip) which are the main two appetizers of mezze. To make the tangy sauce known as Tarator simply add lemon juice and garlic to taste then blend adding water until the desired consistency is reached.
