Sesame's Secret Weapon: Tahini
If you’ve ever tasted hummus or had a spoonful of baba ghanoush, you’ve almost certainly encountered tahini. This thick paste of ground sesame seeds is one of the staples of the Middle Eastern kitchen, and there’s really no substitute. Tahini is similar to the sesame paste used in Asian cuisine, but more refined. For tahini, the raw or toasted sesame seeds are blanched and lightly crushed to separate the tough outer bran from the actual seed kernel.
Baron's Tahini is a ground paste made from sesame seeds. Tahini is the second most important ingredient in hummus right after the chickpeas and a major component of other Middle Eastern foods. Additionally Tahini is used as a base for Tahini sauce. Tahini sauce is a popular condiment for meat vegetables and salads. Tahini sauce is very simple and easy to make.
