Sesame tahini is one of those simple ingredients that build a new dimension within a dish’s flavour. It’s used widely in salad dressings, sauces, and desserts. Sesame seeds have an earthy taste and are plump with calcium, manganese and iron. Prepackaged raw food is often costly, so I make my own tahini and nut butters, as they only require a good whiz in the processor and a cool place on your refrigerator shelf.
M went to Concord the other weekend and sent me some photos from Hawthorne’s backyard. The peaceful, unrefined landscape somehow reminds me of the musky flavour of sesame tahini.

Anon 11:14 – As I mentioned above, sesame tahini is just an ingredient that we use in small amounts to bring a unique flavour to other dishes, like our kale chips. Yep, olive or other oils (see post).
Anon 12:28 – Buying them is not a problem at all, you can find them in bulk at health food stores. They’re inexpensive. Or you can get them online http://www.nutsonline.com/ or other stores.

Middle Eastern is one of my favorite foods, and Tahini is right in the middle of it!
