What is Tahini?

Tahini is a paste made out of toasted and grounded sesame seeds; it is used in many traditional cuisines as an ingredient as well as a condiment.

It’s similar to any other nut butter, very creamy, and with a high fat content, which makes it a perfect dairy free substitute of butter.
