It's Tahini Time!

    It's Tahini Time!

    Not as exciting as Martini Time... 

    I occasionally make homemade hummus, which calls for about a tablespoon and a half of tahini. Of course the only kind I could find at the store was a huge jar. Anyone know what else I can use it for?

    Well, you can go to cooking websites that search for recipes with just one ingredient and see what comes up.  I found this:

    Martha Stewart was MUCH more creative.  Here's a few:

    YOu can use Tahini in anything you'd use peanut butter for -- it IS simply sesame butter (like peanuts are to peanut butter)

    It is GOOD for dogs (peanut butter is NOT NOT NOT good for dogs).  so you can use it as a treat (it actually tastes a lot like peanut butter in many ways.)

    YOu can make a jelly and tahini sandwich, you can use it in cookies, etc.  On crackers? 

    Ever have Halvah??? mmmm -- it IS Yum -- it's Jewish sesame candy -- and the chocolate covered one is awesome.

    It's a pain cos you gotta stir it.  but it's really good stuff.

    Really? I thought a lot of people use peanut butter to stuff their kongs. I don't use it because of all the allergy issues but I honestly thought it was okay for dogs.

    NO, and I do say this ALL the time.  Peanut Butter is NOT GOOD for dogs.  It's **very** hard on the kidneys.  They love it -- but it is HARD on the kidneys in the extreme.

    Wow!!  I had NO idea!  Not that Max eats a lot of PB, but sometimes if he's loitering around in the kitchen schmoozing for stuff when I'm getting a bit, I let him lick the last bit off my finger or off the knife.
