Hi, I am Mexican living in Egypt for the last 20 years and I congratulate you on this video, very accurate your description of the flavor and the way you prepare it 👍 my personal favorite is "tahina we assal eswed " tahina and molases 😋 Greetings from Egypt

Absolutely love your channel. I lived in the ME for over a decade but never bothered to learn because good Egyptian and Levantine food was easily accessible. Now I get to recreate my fav dishes in my home country. Thank u!
This is probably blasphemous but I quite often substitute homemade tahina for East Asian style sesame paste. Mix tahina with soy sauce, a sweet component (e.g. honey), a bit of black viniger and boom you have a delicious sauce for cold noodles 🍜. Love your content!
I can see this being good! I do the same with the Asian sesame paste, but it can be more bitter as it is roasted quite a lot. I prefer the light Tahina as it is myself!
@@rico3726 Mine does and it was $7 at goodwill. Older blenders from when they still used steel gears instead of plastic can absolutely make nut butter, so if you can't do it at home with a shiny new one, try it at grandma's house.
I feel so calm and informed after watching this video. I didn't realise how easy it was to make tahina. I'm so glad videos like this exist on RUclips. Thank you so much!
i found this recipe from one of your other dishes and was startled just how good the sauce was. it's marvelous for sandwiches, and i am looking forward to using it tonight with shawarma.
You're a lifesaver. I planned to make a bunch of things this weekend that require tahini but didn't realize how little I had left, BUT I definitely have sesame seeds!! Love your channel, it's swiftly become one of my go-tos.
So much praise for your ability to communicate mate! Such a clear non fluff video, seems like you realy put some effort into making a good script! Production value really good as well! Subbed. Keep it up!
you seem so selfless, so focused en your love of food and middle estern culture ; it's inspirationnal really, your content feels very warm and teaches me a lot, thank you so much for doing all this
My Tahina sauce instantly sollidified when I added the lime juice. In case anyone has the same issue, it can be fixed by adding cold water bit by bit. I really like this channel though. The recipes, the details... doesn t get much better than this. Kudos Middle Eats.
I love that quality about tahina. If you want to make it thicker, add water (up to a point) or other watery ingredient. I can't think of any other fat that does that, so it is valuable to know.
When I ccok mixed vegetable soups I add 1 teaspoon per person of tahini to the water at the end of cooking (say the last 5 minutes). It makes the soup creamier, less watery and yummy. Other times I add 1 teaspoon of tahini + 1 teaspoon of peanut butter. Other times only 1 teaspoon of peanut butter. So that my soups never taste the same. And I change the mix of vegetables often to ensure that I get a different taste every time.
I've just tried your tahini recipe and it's by far the best tasting I've ever had. I made mine in a nutribullet and the processing time for very quick. I'll not be buying any more tahini as it was so easy to do and tasted FABULOUS. I love your Middle Eastern recipes; It's my favourite cuisine. Thanks for all that.
in my youth my cousin and my sister used to have eating contests with cane molasses and tahina (pekmez and tahin in türkisch). molasses and tahina are the ultimate union! thank you for bringing back childhood memories and your appreciation for the good stuff
I wish I had seen this video before I over toasted the sesame seeds. It came out a bit strong. I used it anyway to make hummus. It didn't turn out too bad. Next time I will lightly toast them as you suggested in this video. Happy to see the other sauces based on tahina. I will definitely try them.
you're making me miss the middle eastern deli that was near my college campus. i didn't appreciate it because it wasn't cheap. but it was all made in the store and it was good.
Your voice is so soothing and the level of detail you give in your recipes makes these videos so high-quality. Loving all of your vegan/vegetarian dishes. I made tahini at home once and it didn’t turn out right but after watching this, I think I’ll finally give homemade tahini another shot. ☺️
Oh my goodness! This morning I tried your incredibly delicious sweet dip of tahini with molasses! It will now be my go-to topping for fresh fruit and pancakes, and toast! I actually spread it on my baked ripe plantain this morning (instead of traditional honey) and it was fabulous! Thanks for this cool trick ❤️👍
A lovely man at the market asked if I knew what to do with the carob molasses I was buying, I’m always trying new fruit molasses there.. he introduced me to tahini and carob molasses. It’s like a Middle Eastern Reese’s PBcup! I’ve enjoyed it ever since and was grateful that he shared. He said it’s on every breakfast table. Sometimes I just mix up a small bowl and eat it plain!
That savoury tahina sauce is fantastic! I've made it twice in the last week... Also enjoyed the results of your instruction on foul medames, and the tahini (er, tahina?) with molasses is now solidly in our breakfast rotation. Thank you so much!
Tahina, or tahineh in Franco-Lebanese orthography (same pronunciation). "Tahini" is, for reasons unknown to me, the preferred spelling of Anglos and Zionists. If you say "tahini" to an Arabic speaker, they won't bat an eyelash...but they'll be more impressed if you say it properly! 😂
I bought Tahini and didn't know it's versatility so ty I will subscribe to your page this morning before watching this I added it to my Bubble and Squeak after adding crispy bacon.. delicious ty
Have you tried grinding longer? Eventually the oil from the sesame seeds comes out and the tahini is much much nicer as no other oil added. Try it. Thank you for sharing.
I just discovered your channel and I love it Great pronunciation of the food names by the way With an Arabic Egyptian accent , thank you so much for sharing such an authentic and delicious recipes. Greetings from Dallas Texas
Mmm...tahina. In my house we use it on almost everything: salads, meats, grilled veggies, as a dip for bread, or sometimes just on a spoon, straight out of the jar 🙂. In addition to cane molasses or honey, another sweet complement for tahina is silan (date syrup), spread on warm, squishy bread... delicious! Really enjoying your videos, Obi!

Made this with lightly roasted Japanese fine sesame seeds and fresh milled sesame oil, in a mortar and pestle. Small amount so it wasn't very laborious. Holy cow was it amazing!
I adore showerma. I lived in Dubai for many years and I crave the taste of tahini! Back home in Scotland now and constantly searching for the perfect showerma ❤️❤️
Great episode. I wish I'd seen this a few months ago when I couldn't buy any tahini for love nor money but had a big bag of sesame seeds in my cupboard. One small suggestion I wish you had used all grams in your tahini recipe instead of mixing volume measurements (spoon sizes) with weight measurements. Using all grams makes things so much easier for upscaling or down scaling recipes.
Love from India 🙏🏻. You may be interested to know in India we get 3 types of sesame seeds. One called, funnily, 'nylon' is snow white in color, one beige, and one black. Which do you think is best suited for thaini? Btw, how many types of sesame seeds to you have in your country?
I don't like the store bought ones in my country, so I am going to give this a try. Like you said.. Most mass produced ones I find here are overly toasted. Yours looks far closer to the stuff I grew up with in the Middle East where I lived for most of my life. Never thought to make it at home because it was commonly available there and we always had a jar handy. Since it keeps for a long while.. Making it at home makes so much sense! Thanks for this!
That looks so easy, I’m going to try it. The only ready made tahini in New Mexico is the plain, I’d really like to try toasted and spice up with some chili/jalapeño peppers. Thank you, middle eastern food is my favorite, just no animals. All the great vegan in Middle East, mmmm lots of flavor combos like nowhere else, and I’m crazy for sumac. I subbed, very nice channel 🙏
Hi I'm from Brazil and I love to make different dips with tahini. I made my own like you, and I prefer do not tost it too much, but I don't use any oil to process it, is it a problem? I am loving watching your videos cause I love arabic food!
Thanks for the video! Great idea with the Middle Eastern Pantry. I would really appreciate a video on all the spices and fresh herbs that you use. It would be nice to have an overview and potentially identify a few things I'm currently missing. :-)
Where I'm from (Argentina) Helva or Halva is known as "Mantecol", since it was popularized as a mass produced snack by a company founded by a greek immigrant, one Mr. Georgalos; and he named it as such. Now I know I can make it at home really easy!
Thanks for that, now I know why my tahina tastes horrible. I followed a receipt that said do roast the sesame to a brownish colour. I'll try it again with way less heat and for a shorter time, should hopefully turn out better than that dark bitter stuff I made before.
Thanks for the tutorial! I keep seeing many jars of tahini in my local supermarket in Jersey City. I'm going to buy some and make some dip with molasses!
I do not toast my sesame seeds and process it until it is a paste without adding ANY oil. I keep it in the fridge which keeps the oil from separating and also makes it last what seems like forever. My favorite use for tahina has always been hummus, but I am slowly trying other things and looking forward to trying it with the cane molasses for a sweet dip treat as well as tahina with honey or maple syrup to make halvah.
Wow! Thank you for showing how Tahina is made, can be expensive in the store and I don’t need so much. Also... can you show us how to make Halva? It is one of the best deserts.

I always thought there is no added oil in traditional tahini. Is that incorrect?
I love that taste
I love halva
Excelent
Hm, make it yourself? Maybe I should try that. The processing of seeds oils is baffling and can't be healthy.
But, could one use olive oil instead or will that dominate the taste too much? I seem to recall that back in the day, there was a different type of oil traditionally used, but with the industrial revolution seed oils became the norm as they are so cheap.
Could it have been an animal fat that was used?
Have you tried making it with neutral flavored coconut oil? I understand there's no coconuts in the Middle-East, but I am trying to avoid processed seed oils.

There's no need to add any oil, just keep blending with breaks inbetween to not overheat.
Source - Palestinian and my parents have a Tahini factory :)
That's what I thought. Sunflower oil is inferior
Just so by the way here in developing countries not all of us can afford high speed blenders that go up to 1500W. So then the oil comes in handy.
