Tahini paste, also known as tahin or tahine, is made by blending sesame seeds to obtain a smooth paste. Widely used in Middle Eastern cuisine, tahini is delicious on all vegetable-based preparations or in a dressing made with honey, mirin, and soy sauce, for example.

It's ultimately the Anglo-Israeli chef Yotam Ottolenghi who speaks about it best. Having grown up in the Middle East, he prefers Lebanese, Israeli, or Palestinian tahinis rather than Greek and Cypriot ones.

Smooth and creamy, tahini can be incorporated into sauces or drizzled directly over numerous dishes, especially composed salads.

Tahini can also be used in the preparation of sweet recipes.

In some variations of halva, a traditional Middle Eastern confectionery, tahini is a key ingredient. To prepare tahini halva, tahini is mixed with sugar or sweet syrup to form a solid and sweet paste. Nuts, seeds, or other flavors can also be added to create different taste and texture variations.

Our favorite: enjoy it spread on toast with a thin layer of honey on top!
