    Recipe Broccoli and Tahini Soup

    You need to use a tahini that you like with this soup. There's no point in using a bitter tahini you dislike because the tahini is prominent in taste. Also this soup is great for using broccoli stems up. Just peel them if they are thick and tough. The blender will deal with most of the stem...

    Recipe Creamy Baba Ghanou with yoghurt

    I recently came across a recipe with Greek yoghurt in the Baba Ghanou ( eggplant dip) and I have to say it's a great addition. It makes for a lighter and creamier dip. So here's my version, edited to my preferences. I eat this with crusty bread. What you need: 2 Medium aubergines/eggplants 3...

    Recipe Roasted Broccoli with Black Tahini Sauce

    In this recipe, the dark toasted black tahini sauce enhances the nutty flavour of roasted broccoli. Sumac and ground pomegranate provide a contrasting citrus zing. I par-cook the broccoli first as it cuts down on the roasting time and thus prevents the broccoli becoming too dry. You can buy...

    Recipe Black Tahini

    Deep, dark and dramatic - black tahini packs a punch. How does it taste? Its nutty, its mildly bitter and it has an edge of ash. It very easy to make if you have a good spice grinder/coffee grinder. You can use ready toasted seeds if you can get them or toast your own. Use this tahini as a sexy...

    Recipe Lentils with Spinach, Tahini and Pomegranate Molasses

    This dish is somewhat inspired by a Palestinian dish called Rummaniyeh ( a stew of lentils with aubergine and pomegranate). Sometimes Rummaniyeh is served with a tahini and yoghurt dressing. Here I used tahini in the stew, to add a creaminess to the lentils which contrasts well with the sour...

    Recipe Eggplant / Aubergine Steaks with Farro and a Pomegranate Molasses Tahini Sauce

    I chose to serve this with farro - you could certainly use quinoa, rice, or whatever other grain or pseudo-grain fits your fancy. Just start with half a cup of whatever it is, and follow the instructions on the package for making it appropriately. Pasta would also work (although your timing...

    Recipe Baba Ganoush

    I owe a debt to the beautiful recipe that SatNavSaysStraightOn posted for Baba Ganoush over 2 years ago. I've made variations of that recipe several times, but I never felt a need to post it because SatNavSaysStraightOn already did it so well. I didn't break any new ground here, but I did make...

    Recipe Brussels Sprouts with Tahini Lime Dressing

    I don't remember making something before where I was so completely satisfied. I think I tend to think of salads as something basic that doesn't require much in the way of culinary chops. But, this changed my mind. The dressing has a nuttiness that works so well with the acidity of the lime. And...

    Recipe Tahinut Butter and Chutnelly Sandwich

    If you think this isn’t a serous entry, you don’t know me very well. Sometimes, what seems ridiculous can turn into the sublime. This isn't one of those times, but I like what came together here. You can certainly do this with commercially-available tahini and chutney, but what's the fun in...

    Recipe Tahini Paste

    I have bought tahini paste before, but I found that it was fun making it myself. And, while I have seen commercial tahini paste have the look and feel of a light-colored creamy peanut butter, I've always been partial to the chunky, natural style peanut butter. So, that's what I've made. I have...
