Tahini is a sesame paste (raw, roasted or black) that is widely used in Middle Eastern cooking. Not only is it one of the basic ingredients of hummus, but it is also the main ingredient in the sauce that accompanies shawarma, kebab, kafta and other meat dishes (in this case mixed with garlic, lemon, salt and parsley). It’s not hard to find in supermarkets, but it usually comes in very large formats and, if we don’t eat it often, it can get stale, so preparing it at home is a great option. If we have raw sesame and we want to roast it ourselves (it increases the flavour quite a bit), just put the stir paddle accessory and program 7 minutes at 100ºC, speed 2.
