Tahini is a sesame seed paste which is a common ingredient in hummus and baba ganouj. Out of the container tahini will need a good stir because the oils tend to separate. The paste, made from toasted ground hulled sesame seeds, is nutty and rich, with a slightly bitter finish and an unctuous mouthfeel akin to peanut butter. Look for tahini that's well blended (little to no separation). Make sure to give your tahini a good stir before drizzling, and refrigerate after opening.
