Tahini is a strong and exotic flavor that I love. Although I’ve been known to eat the delicious paste straight from a spoon, I know that it’s not for everyone ….
Here’s how to make a tasty tahini glaze that you can use to flavor steamed vegetables or salads, to add a middle-eastern flair to a plain hamburger, or to go with falafels.
Sesame seeds provide a great source of calcium. This dressing is great to add to your cooking repertoire, especially if you are on a vegan diet.
