Tahini is one of the most important ingredients in any Middle Eastern cuisine. It's a thick sesame paste, made from lightly toasted and ground sesame seeds. It's also popular in Greek and Moroccan cooking. This tahini is especially dense and flavoursome, so a little goes a long way.

This brand of tahini is one of the best we've tried at Sous Chef. It has a velvety texture, with a slightly sweet and wonderfully nutty flavour. To make a classic Israeli dressing - also known as tahini sauce - whisk the sesame paste with ice cold water, lemon juice and a pinch of salt until lightly coloured and silky smooth. Spoon generously over falafel and almost any roasted vegetables.

Mix a couple of tablespoons of tahini into hummus and baba ganoush for depth of flavour. Combine the tahini with lemon juice, crushed garlic and thin with a little water for a sauce to drizzle over white fish, pulses and roasted vegetables. Or even try adding a few tablespoons of tahini to a homemade coleslaw along with peanuts and spring onions for an Asian twist on this classic salad. 

Tahini may separate during storage. This is normal - simply stir well before each use.
