Overview

This is a snack/dip as well as a dessert.

In Egypt, this is eaten as breakfast or an evening meal.

Of note:

• As you mix the ingredients, watch the interesting marks the dark molasses makes in the light colored tahini. Fun for kids to watch.

Tahini is made from sesame seeds, pressed into a paste. The closest resemblance to North  American food would be peanut butter.

Tahini is used in Egyptian and other Middle Eastern dishes.

It is a major ingredient in many dips, such as Baba Ghanoug, as well as sweets like Halva/Halawa.
