About

Tahini is a paste made from toasted sesame seeds. It's often used in North African, Greek, Iranian, Turkish, and Middle Eastern cooking. While it can be served on its own, it is often an ingredient in hummus and baba ghanoush.

Recipe Tips

Be sure to read through the entire recipe before you begin cooking.

The amount of water isn’t indicated because you’ll drain the rice like you do with pasta when it's finished cooking.

Since most of the sodium in canned goods is in the starchy liquid, be sure to rinse the chickpeas well.
