Introduction and description
Tahini is a paste made from ground, hulled sesame seeds used in North African, Greek, Turkish, and Middle Eastern cuisine.
It is an excellent source of copper, manganese and the amino acid methionine as well as a source of the healthy fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6.
Tahini's relatively high levels of calcium and protein make it a useful addition to diets in which calcium is lacking due to allergic reaction. Compared to peanut butter, tahini has higher levels of fiber and calcium and lower levels of saturated fats
Method
Diluted with lemon juice and water to which a little crushed garlic has been added, it makes a delicious sauce for meat balls, grilled meats, grilled auberbine and an accompaniment to wholegrain rice steamed in water and butter with an egg yolk and sumac.
