Tahini is a staple in Middle Eastern dishes like falafel and shawarma. The savory condiment is made from toasted ground hulled sesame, which gives it a nutty flavor. It’s used as a dip and dressing and is a frequent ingredient in hummus and baba ghanoush. But tahini can be used in a lot more dishes than you might expect. Here are 5 unexpected dishes that use tahini.
Tahini chocolate truffles (paleo, vegan)
This simple dessert can be made with just 2 ingredients: chocolate and tahini. If you want this recipe to be vegan, make sure to use dark chocolate. The filmer melts the chocolate and then adds a healthy portion of tahini to the mixture before refrigerating it and adding some optional toppings like walnuts and pistachios. How sweet it is to have a 2-ingredient dessert recipe!
