What do you use tahini for? I want to buy some

But no idea how to make it work . Could I hand some ideas please?

Houmous

Mainly making hummus and salad dressings

Had it this evening on rice and veg. Delicious.
You can mix it with honey for on toast. Or plain on toast with a bit of salt. I love it.

I make dips with it usually - yoghurt/garlic/tahini/lemon juice/parsley. Properly nice.

Drizzle on salad, halloumi or warm chicken. I love mixing with lime juice, chili flakes, a little water and oil for a salad dressing.

Can also go on top of sweet potato wedges and sprinkle sumac on top for more flavour.

Oooo thanks for the responses. Is it quite sweet or savoury? Could I eat it from the jar?

Toast

Oh!!! That sounds like a simple but effective plan!

Tahini and sliced banana on toast. Yum.

Houmous. Or a salad dressing.

I wouldn't eat it neat myself. It's a brilliant ingredient for balancing sharp tastes like lemon and garlic. I mainly use it for making houmous and banaganoush.

It can also replace eggs in some baking recipes.

Like most nuts and seeds it can be sweet or savory. Think about almonds - you can chuck them in salads and stir frys or make cakes with them. Tahini is ground up sesame seeds.

Drizzled over roasted veg. Yum!

You can make a delicious dip by blending it with lemon, garlic and a bit of water - tastes so good. You can make houmous too. It tastes amazing with falafel and is also really good in sweet dishes. Swirl through chocolate brownie mix before cooking. My fave way to eat it is to make a traditional Greek pastry called tahinopittes-use Georgina Hayden’s recipeTahinopittes

Hummus. Salad dressing. A marinade with pomegranate molasses for chicken. Ice cream.

Look here

Stirred through Greek yoghurt along with a spoonful of honey.
Mixed up with lemon, garlic and fresh herbs and drizzled over any roasted veg, but esp aubergine.

Houmous and salad dressings

Eat directly with a spoon 😂

All the above! I always have some in the house. But I never dip sweet dill pickles in to it, oh no, not me…

Honestly you can use it with everything. High quality tahini can be salty or savoury. Lemon, tahini, garlic, salt, cumin (phenomenal dressing)
Tahini and maple syrup on toast 🤤

Sorry forgot to add make sure you get the Turkish tahini that comes in a glass jar!

Making hummus and salad dressings. Mine was not a success. Nobody liked it. No more tahini for me.

Take approx 1 cup tahini, squeeze in juice of 1 lemon and some salt. Whisk and add water a little at a time. At some point you'll think 'oh no it's curdled' but keep going and keep adding water until you have a lovely smooth dip. Delicious and lighter that hummous.

Tahini brownies are also delish.
