Tahini dip is an addictive condiment in Middle Eastern cuisine, traditionally prepared with lemon and water. (We like to add a bit of garlic, cumin and salt as well. Check out our tahini recipes for more ideas and tips.) This dip can be used to season a salad, steak, roast chicken or even as a sauce for fish baked in the oven. It can be added to cooked chickpeas to make
hummus
or charred eggplant for
babaganoush.
Tahini is a versatile ingredient that will also add nutritional value to any meal you may be cooking. Recently, tahini has gained popularity as a health food due to its high calcium, iron and zinc content as well as many more vitamins and minerals essential for our well-being. Tahini is rich in good fats and amino-acids. Its high protein content, 25%, also serves as a great option for vegetarians and vegans.
Why we chose AlArz…
AlArz Tahini was founded in 1992 as a small family business in Nazareth, Israel. Assad Zaher, an engineer by training, designed a special production method that created a tahina unequaled by any other in its fresh, natural flavor. Today, Al Arz is a female run business that continues to produce tahini so full of flavor that is a favorite of chefs in Israel and abroad. AlArz tahini is pure, made from stone ground toasted Ethiopian sesame seeds in a state of the art facility.
"Al Arz tahini is particularly creamy and delicious!"
