TAHINI
Ingredients:
150 gr (5,3 oz, 1 cup) raw sesame seeds
3 tablespoons hazelnut oil
Directions:
• Warm 150 gr raw sesame seeds in a large steel pan. Just warming every sesame seed will be enough for making tahini. Don’t roast them until all of it turns to brown. Using a steel pan is important as it has no coating, not releasing harmful gases at high temperatures. You can use a cast iron pan as well for browning.
• Add the sesame seeds in food processor while they are still hot.
• Pulse for about a minute and add 3 tablespoons of hazelnut oil. You can use grape seed oil or sunflower oil as well but prefer a seed oil then olive oil for this recipe.
• After working food processor for another 3 minutes your tahini will be ready to enjoy. First the texture is going to be sand-like. Don’t give up on that stage and continue. After enough patience your tahini is going to be creamy and dreamy.
TAHINI & MOLASSES
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon tahini
1 tablespoon molasses
Directions:
• Mix 1 tablespoon of tahini and grape molasses in a bowl.
TAHINI & COCOA SPREAD
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon tahini
2 tablespoons honey
1 heaping teaspoon cacao
Directions:
• Mix 1 tablespoon tahini, 2 tablespoons honey and 1 heaping teaspoon cacao. Your healthy cacao is ready. You can adjust the amounts to your taste.
HİBEŞ
Ingredients:
1 cup of tahini
2 lemons’ juice
½ cup of water
2 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
Directions:
• Squeeze 2 lemons and mix it with 1 cup of tahini. Add 1 teaspoon cumin and 1 teaspoon paprika.
• Puree 2 cloves of garlic and add to mixture. Hibeş is a great sauce for kebap or you can eat as a dip or mezze.
• For toppins you can sprinkle some paprika, cumin and fresh parsley leaves.
TAHINI SALAD DRESSING
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons tahini
1 lemon juice
5 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons yogurt
Salt
Pepper
Directions:
• Mix 2 tablespoons tahini, 1 lemon juice, 5 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons yogurt in a jar or glass.
• Add salt and pepper to your taste, your tahini dressing is ready to enjoy.
GREEN TAHINI
Ingredients:
1 batch of coriander
100 ml water( 3,4 fl oz, 2/5 cup)
2 cloves of garlic
70 gr tahini (4-5 tablespoons)
½- 1 teaspoon salt
½ lemon juice
Directions:
• Add 1 batch of coriander, 100 ml of water and 2 cloves of garlic into food processor.
• Pulse until it becomes a puree, add 70 gr tahini, add salt to your taste and squeeze half lemon juice.
• Pulse again until mixture is blended well. Your green tahini will be great with köfte, or as a dip for chips. The other upside of this recipe is tahini is a great substitute for cheese if you are not eating diary or if you are a vegan.

Love from India Refika. In southern India, roasted sesame seed powder ( same taste profile as tahini) is used widely in dips or what we call chutneys. For example raw mango(naturally tart), sesame seed powder, green chillies ground and tempered with mustard curry leaves. Replace raw mango with any sauteed vegetable and add lemon or tamarind for tartness. We use this as a rice accompaniment

@camilledavisrusso9509 dry roast 2 tsp of sesame seeds and keep aside. In the same pan add a tsp of vegetable oil with one cup vegetable of choice( can be anything from carrot to gourds. In India we use bottle gourd, ridge gourd etc ). Also add 1 or 2 green chillies (adjust based on heat) to saute along with the vegetable. Once the sauteed mix cools, add to blender along with roasted sesame seed (or tahini) along with salt to taste. Add half a tsp of tamarind paste and grind to a coarse paste. Enjoy with hot rice.

I'm a South African living in Cape Town, my grandparents came here as immigrants from Lebanon 🇱🇧 in the 1920's. We still cook a lot of dishes that my grandmother brought over when she came to this country & it's been passed down to us. So many of the dishes u have shown on your channel is so similar if not the same. It seem we share very similar cooking styles & ingredients it all has the Mediterranean & Middle-Eastern influences. I'm now learning much more from your fun and easy to follow recipes, thanks so much. 🙏

For those making and tasting tahini for the first time. I Just made mine following this recipe yesterday. I thought i did something wrong when the tahini remained a bit bitter even when it’s cooled. Turns out it is normal. The store bought version tasted similar. So believe in yourself and the recipe. You’re doing fine.

@@ayeshamariyam6568 when you toast the seeds too much and the tahini is a darker brown it will be very bitter. You will notice this even by just tasting half a teaspoon of the toasted seeds. You need to only very very lightly toast them - in fact to me it seems Refika here went too far, at least for my taste - the colour difference with the white untoasted seeds has to be very slight.

I am using it to make a lot of your hummus too, as well as in falafel (I use Kenji Lopez's recipe). I am trying to follow a more plant-based diet and your channel has taught me so much about your really awesome cuisine. Along with the sesame seeds, I have bought 1kg of hazel nuts and a jar of molasses. My kitchen is going to delightfully sticky in a couple of hours time!

I live in Texas, and my dad's family was very poor. He was born in 1929 during our Great Depression in Oklahoma. They couldn't afford sugar, so my grandmother would mix molasses, honey and peanut butter together and that is what they used on their toast, pancakes and waffles. He made this for me as a child. It was and is so yummy. I'm 52 and I have to have this peanut butter concoction on my waffles and pancakes to this day. I bet the Tahini and molasses is so yummy.

The Teflon company polluted all the waters on our planet. I myself during the covid shutdown found out about the dangers of Teflon by watching the Documentary "The Devil We Know" and the movie "Dark Waters", both on Netflix. All these years that they were being sued they were still selling their products all over the world. I now use cast iron and stainless steel and glass. I prefer cast iron because it is non-toxic and after you learn how to use it you will love it.

Hi Refika! I love your videos. I have made 6 recipes of yours and my friends and family have loved every single one. I haven’t ever had Turkish food (beside maybe kebabs), but your channel has illuminated the beautiful flavors of Turkish cooking. I love how you use tomato paste in everything; I also appreciate your focus on healthier cooking and not using as much plastic in the kitchen. Thank you for sharing your expertise, your videos are making a lot of people in the middle of Ohio very happy!!

amazing video, thank you ! In Iran we eat Tahini with Grapes Syrup instead of Molasses. My mom is originally from a small City there called Mahallat and i remember some streets were smelling like tahini all the way because of small shops which used to make it themselves, love this point about food that makes people come closer and see their similarities instead of differences.

A lot of valuable information here. I love making my own tahini because I can customize it to my taste. It is also fresher and less expensive than the commercial which is not even popular where I live. The degree of roasting, the amount of salt (not mentioned in this video), and so forth. I have learned to use sesame oil as the oil component when making it. I have both toasted and untoasted sesame oil and prefer using the toasted variety as I love the pronounced sesame flavor. The best things about making your own - anything - is that you can make it exactly to your taste and nutritional requirements. After making the tahini, my food processer is pretty messy and it's hard to get the last bits out. What I like to do then is add some (cut up) dried fruit and give it a spin. It cleans up the processer to some degree and the result is a delightful simple candy (in my opinion).

I am so happy I tried this! My tahini is delicious, even in its “warm” state just out of the processor. I have been making what I considered to be humus for years, and always enjoyed it, occasionally adding some tahini out of a big jar. But those jars are big and expensive, I never really liked the taste, and most of it eventually went to waste. Can’t wait to try the humus recipe tomorrow! Such a hard time we live in right now, this is a little thing that made me happy. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the lovely ideas. I hadn’t seen some of them before. My granddad used to grow sesame in Southwest Bulgaria. At the end of the season he would take it to the mill and they would grains it into trajíun (tahini). He would then mix batches of it with honey he would buy from the bee keepers , add a little water to it and we would eat it like that for breakfast or any time of the day we wanted something nice. It would be put on bread.

I'm from Macedonia and our grandma's always use tahini for millions of things. We always have one jar with tahini+honey mixture in our kitchen. When I make hummus if I don't have tahini I put 150 gr of sesame seeds (2 to 3 minutes on the stove) and than directly in the blender! Just mix it like that. The taste is the same and even you've got little bit less of that tahini bitter aftertaste. Just a suggestion!
