Middle Eastern food in most definitely some of my favourite. Middle Eastern dips and spreads are a great way to keep a veggie sandwich interesting and add extra nutrition and flavour to your salad veggies. Tahini appears in a great deal of Middle Eastern cuisine. Made from ground sesame seeds this paste, which is available at any supermarket, is a great source of calcium, minerals and healthy omega-3 fats.
Technically speaking the king of Middle Eastern cooking, Yotam Ottolengi, say that traditional Baba Ganoush does not include tahini but I always include it in my recipe. I like the added nutrition along wit the texture and flavour it brings.
