Sesame cream, or tahini, is a staple of Mediterranean cuisine. A symbol of Lebanese cuisine, it's a key ingredient in hummus and baba ghannouj. Highly versatile, it can be used savorily in your vegetable and legume spreads. It can be diluted with lemon juice and water to form the delicious "tarator sauce," which is a wonderful addition to fish, shawarmas, and falafels.
In sweet dishes, it replaces butter or cream in your cakes, cookies, brownies, pastries, biscuits, etc. The secret recipe of the great Lebanese? We whisper it in your ear: "mixed half tahini and half carob molasses, it transforms into a gourmet spread."
It is also rich in good lipids, minerals and antioxidants.
