What is Tahini?
Tahini is a sesame seed paste and a staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking. It is vegan, gluten-free, and has a wonderful toasty, nutty, flavor. You can find it at most grocery stores near the other nut/seed butters or near the Middle Eastern ingredients. Or it's easy to make at home using just sesame seeds and oil. Here's a recipe! Leftover tahini can be stored in the fridge for a very very long time, just like any other nut butter.
