Nothing special about tahini, bitter after taste. I threw it away.

[@myvegankitchenlife]

IT’S SO SPECIAL ❤️ You threw away one of the most amazing health foods 😩 Yes it’s bitter on its own but when combined with other ingredients to create salad dressings hummus etc. it’s delicious 😋 Tahini offers several health benefits: 1. Rich in Nutrients: Tahini is a good source of essential nutrients like protein, fiber, vitamins (such as B vitamins), and minerals (like magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and calcium). 2. Heart Health: It contains healthy fats, particularly monounsaturated fats, which can help lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. 3. Bone Health: Tahini is rich in calcium, which is vital for maintaining strong and healthy bones. 4. Improved Digestion: Its fiber content promotes healthy digestion and may help prevent constipation. 5. Boosts Energy: Tahini is calorie-dense and contains healthy fats and protein, providing sustained energy throughout the day. 6. Antioxidant Properties: It contains antioxidants, including vitamin E and lignans, which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. 7. Blood Sugar Regulation: The healthy fats and protein in tahini can help stabilize blood sugar levels, making it a suitable addition to a balanced diet for those with diabetes. 8. Supports Skin Health: Tahini contains vitamin E, which is beneficial for skin health, promoting a healthy complexion and protecting against UV damage. 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽🙏🏽

Tahini is really nice and creamy. I like to mix it with some warm water, lemon juice, maple syrup and garlic to dilute it into a dressing consistency that goes really nice on baked/roasted vegetables or salads.

[@cindyholloway8269]

I agree, I love chickpeas, but I don't like hummus, so I think the tahini is what is preventing me from enjoying it.

I tried your brownie recipe this weekend with a few tweaks for my kids with nut allergies. I just wanted to return and confirm what was mentioned in the video.. you can not taste the chickpeas. The brownies are so fudged, chocolatey and delicious 😋 yum, yum. This is my new vegan brownie recipe. Thank you so much for sharing ❤.

[@janeschade7875]

What can I substitute the oil for?

[@terredee]

@@janeschade7875 Swap out the oil with nut butter, coconut milk, applesauce, puréed pumpkin, vegan yogurt, or a combo of these. I’m an applesauce fan, and put about a half cup of it into a batch of muffins, which makes the batter just right. This recipe already has coconut milk and peanut butter, so I’d probably use about 1/4 cup of applesauce for these brownies to keep them from being too moist.

Also for people who need to eat for managing diabetes, you will want to use basmati rice as it is the lowest on the gylcemic index.... or, cook your rice the day before and allow to fridge overnight. This technique increases the resistant starch content which helps feed your good gut microbes and it doesn't get digested and converted to sugar 👌💯🙏

[@gymgirllja]

The very first time I made hummus, I shopped for the Tahini. At $14.99 for the bottle to only use 2 Tsps., I opted to substitute good old Peanut Butter instead. It was delicious! I have NEVER used Tahini in hummus. And, I choose "Don't ask, don't tell."

[@darlenebradley6756]

[@susang3681]

OMG the “tuna” was fabulous! Thank you. At first I made it without the furikake and it was OK, but still had some left by the time furikake arrived, so I added it in. Wow, what a difference! Yum!

I also add some Old Bay seasoning to my chickpea mock tuna. Helps add seafood flavor.

Try buying dried chickpeas, much lower in cost than canned and nothing to recycle. I pop them in the instant pot and they are ready within 30 minutes or less. Makes a good amount! Then I divide up what I’m not using right away and pop it in the freezer. Very handy for a quick meal or some hummus. I also love to add Kalamata olives to my hummus….. yummy

Thank you!! I love chick peas. Cheap, filling, tasty. I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but I flirt heavily with both. I aim for plant based dishes, go light on meat and dairy. I just love food, and my tummy is growling after watching this. The chickpea "tuna" on toasted sourdough just looks/sounds so good. I jotted down the ingredients. You sold me on the capers, so that is all I need to make this happen. :) I forgot about chickpea desserts. I find that chickpeas make for the best taste and texture. As close to the traditional recipes as I have ever found. I'm making some today. MMMmmmMmM!😍

I have a fabulous hummus recipe and I never divert from it.. The trick to getting really creamy hummus is to boil your chickpeas for about 20 minutes.. you drain the chickpea juice and then you put in about 2 in of water in the pot over the chickpeas.. I mean cover the chickpeas entirely with an extra 2 in of water and then add a half a teaspoon of baking soda and boil for 20 minutes.. Don't worry about the skins that have come loose they're so soft that they'll cream right in.. and let your chickpeas cool for a bit before adding to your processor.. soft creamy and delish

That chickpea "tuna" sounds like a winner! I'm not vegan, but that looks worth a try. One thought: At my local restaurant supply store, I bought a 25 lb. bag of dried chickpeas for less than $25. One pound of dried chickpeas cooks up to about four 15-oz cans, which rarely sell for less than $1 a can where I live. So if saving money is a goal and you like chickpeas, you can save about 75% by getting them dried and cooking yourself, which is a breeze in an Instant Pot. And personally, I think they taste a lot better cooked from dried versus the canned version that by comparison seems to have a little bit of a tinny taste.
