Best Tahini and great deal from Amazon.
Excellent smooth tahini by Baron's; no gooey oil on top of hard sesame paste you have to pry from bottom of jar. Rather than write, I would like to share my recipe for tahini!
Using a plane grater, grate 2 cloves fresh garlic into your mixing bowl, add 1/4 tsp cumin, cayenne to taste, salt, juice of one fresh lemon (at least 1/4 cup of fresh juice). set aside, in a second small bowl mix 1/2 cup tahini w 1/2 cup warm water...it will look curdled, just keep mixing gently but firmly until the mixture becomes smooth...dribble in extra warm water if mixture is clearly too thick...add 3 tbs good olive oil. Add tahini mixture to first bowl, mixing well, set covered on counter so flavors blend, they will deepen as garlic, cayenne bloom, so don't adjust spices, salt too early.
I use this sauce for almost everything; roast chicken, fish, on chopped vegetables as a dressing, and with toasted pita any time-BTW, unless you prefer pita CHIPS, always light a gas burner on low and place pita on top until it 'poofs' slightly, toast on both sides. ENJOY!!!!
