How To Make Tahini with only two ingredients! The results are a smoky tahini that tastes amazing in dips.
Tahini is a paste that comes from the Middle East/Mediterranean and is normally rich and earthy. Today I want to show how super quick and easy my how to make tahini recipe is!
I love that it does not take long to make and the best part is – it’s inexpensive! Another cool feature of this recipe is – I only need to use two ingredients to make it. In today’s how to make tahini recipe I will be using sesame seeds and olive oil. For this recipe I used Bob Redmill’s large bag of sesame seeds. I really like to toast the seeds on a baking sheet in the oven to add some rustic and earthy flavour.
Normally tahini is added to something! I have heard it gives so much flavour and depth to your hummus, your dips and spreads. Not only can it be added to these items but it is high in unsaturated fat (good fat). It also has a very high source of protein in comparison to most nuts.
I’ve had hummus for years now, and I finally decided to test it for myself with tahini .
Whaaat? I could not believe how the flavour profile was not only 10 times better, but the texture was so much creamier . Clearly, tahini isn’t something people would eat with a spoon however you can make a tahini dip or a baba ghanoush . The other day I made a yogurt dip out of greek yogurt, tahini, red pepper flakes and garlic.
Colour me happy.
P.S. Here are some of the items I used to make this recipe if you’d like to use them too:
