tahini paste (and substitutes?) (merged)

Swan_2

you'll also find it in Asian and/or Chinese grocers/supermarkets, usually very cheap from them too

I got some in sainsbugs recently, it was in the specialty food bit, (gluten free etc)

Hi all,

I've just merged this query into an older thread that also covers using substitutes when making hummous. You'll need to read from the beginning, as usual, to catch up.

Good luck

just in case it helps someone else: http://middleeasterncuisine.suite101.com/article.cfm/home_made_tahini

I never realised you could make your own. I remember trying to make my own halva - with disastrous results! So i thought homemade tahini would be equally terrible but it seems to work.

Hi Npsmama:hello:

That's a really useful recipe I have added your thread to the existing one on Tahini, so in future people can find all the answers together

thanks

What else can you make with tahini besides hummus?

there are a couple of (slightly strange) ideas in this thread Ladyhawk. Do you have a jar knocking around? mine is over a year out of date and i still use it for hummous

I just throw some sesame seeds into the mix before I whizz it all up, tastes just the same.

Ladyhawk - add tahini paste to omelette or bread recipes.
