Tahini
Used in 2 recipes on RecipeWiki.
Tahini is a smooth paste made from ground sesame seeds, with a toasted, slightly bitter flavour and a texture like loose nut butter. It thickens when mixed with water, then loosens again as more water is whisked in, which is the trick behind a creamy dressing. Stir the jar from the bottom before measuring because the oil rises during storage. Tahini pairs with lemon, garlic, chickpeas and roasted vegetables, and it needs salt to taste complete.
