Tahini is a thick paste made from ground sesame seeds. It's most commonly used as a flavouring ingredient in Middle Eastern dishes such as hummus or with grilled aubergine to make baba ganoush. Tahini's flavour and adaptability also make it an ideal base to sauces to accompany vegetable or pulse-based dishes..
