About Tahini
Work the settled paste back into the oil before measuring. Spoon the mixture into the cup without leaving hollow spaces, or weigh directly into the bowl after stirring.
Tahini can vary in bitterness and colour with the sesame seeds and roasting. Taste the product before making a sesame-forward filling; water or lemon juice added for a sauce changes its volume and consistency.
Tips for measuring Tahini
- Stir right down to the jar's base.
- Measure before diluting into a sauce.
Common mistakes
- Using prepared tahini sauce where pure sesame paste is required.
