You can mix one part tahini with one part carob molasses to make a delicious and healthy sweet dip, very popular in Lebanon.

A few years ago, I started mixing tahini with dill pickle juice and drizzling it on hot dogs (don't judge). Alternatively, I've found that pickled veggies on a hot dog, drizzled with tahini, also make exceptional toppings. No, not exactly halal, but very tasty.

@canerbaykara4591 5 лет назад

Tahini also goes well with desserts. You can drizzle some on a turkish dessert called bread dessert and put wallnuts on it.The contrast is pretty good and takes away the intense sweetness of the dessert.

@Arisaema55 5 лет назад

Great review. Short and sweet...and a bit grainy. 😉

@workingguy6666 5 лет назад

The first hummus I ever tried (about 1990) was really grainy, and I've never been able to find that texture in hummus again. I considered it, and still consider it, a feature - best when used with softer flat-breads as opposed to already crunchy chips.

I remember watching this taste test as part of the full episode in May of 2018. I cracked up at the way Julia closed one eye and then started licking the roof of her mouth exactly like my dog used to do when I gave him peanut butter. I laughed again seeing it again just now. Thanks for the rerun.

@danielleanderson6371 5 лет назад

The cheapest one (per ounce) in the full review is conveniently the one my local grocery carries, and it's recommended! I've always wanted to try making my own dan dan noodles, and I've been told tahini is a great choice to use instead of the thicker East Asian-style sesame paste most recipes call for, especially since a lot of supermarkets carry tahini but not sesame paste. Definitely gonna have to give the stuff a try.

@Csilva857 3 года назад

It's funny you mentioned Dan Dan noodles ... that's the exact reason I am here too trying to find other uses for Tahini other than Hummus and noodles trying to see if it's worth spending the money on... Did you ever make the noodles?

@danielleanderson6371 3 года назад

@@Csilva857 I did, and it turned out okay, but I found it to be a pain to keep tahini and chili oil on hand for just that one dish when I already keep sambal and sesame oil for other stuff. Ended up switching to those ingredients and, while it didn't taste exactly the same, it did still taste good and scratch the dan dan itch. I actually haven't made it in a while, which I maybe need to change...

@sweetboo1022 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for this. I have tried making homemade baba ganoush 3 times and each time it was disgusting. I finally realized last time it wasn't that I was roasting my eggplants wrong and not taking out the seeds, etc. I had some gross tahini. I never used it for anything else so I had no idea how it can easily ruin an entire dish. I haven't tried again because I don't have the money to just try a bunch of different brands. Now I can try this one and hopefully enjoy some yummy baba ganoush.

@slgrib Год назад

Tahini is primarily fat which very easily goes rancid.

@tom_something 11 месяцев назад

Oxalates! Thank you! I recently made some hummus, and every time I eat it, my teeth feel all gritty until I brush them, chew gum, or drink a warm beverage. Doesn't happen with the store-bought hummus I usually eat. I couldn't find anything online about hummus doing that, but the oxalates in spinach react with compounds in saliva to produce tiny crystals that don't dissolve very easily in the mouth. They deposit on the teeth and tongue temporarily and produce a gritty or pasty sensation. I always learn so much from ATK.

@BigTony2Guns 10 месяцев назад

Did you take the Skins off the Beans before you used a Food Processor ??---Do you have to remove chickpea skins for hummus? Chickpeas - or garbanzo beans, they're the same thing - have a very thin skin on the outside. You can eat chickpeas with the skin on, but they're better without. When making hummus, removing the skins will make your hummus much creamier and rich.

@tom_something 10 месяцев назад

@@BigTony2Guns Thank you for the advice! Is there a fast way to remove the skins? I'm imagining a very tedious manual process.

@priscillahansen9138 2 года назад

It looks like there were seven entries in the tasting but you only report on three. It would be nice if you included a card at the end that ranked all seven. We could pause the video to note where all entries ranked. This would be useful in the case when all brands are not available in all markets. The same technique could be useful for product testing as well. Thanks.

@gcangeliify 5 лет назад

Nice tahini but the jar is too narrow. Like most natural nut butters the solids settle to the bottom and with the jar being so narrow it was difficult to stir. I had to empty the jar, even then it was difficult scooping out the solids, and stir it in a different container. What’s left is in an old peanut butter jar.

@yashav2949 5 лет назад

Try mixing it with a hand mixer when getting it out of the fridge for best result

@etherdog 4 года назад

It seems that for foodstuffs ATK does not put top quality products into the test mix but just what is available at a standard supermarket. With things being so easy to get online and delivered at a fair price, this is a disservice to subscribers and viewers. Competition for shelf space is fierce, expensive, unfair, and often not a reflection of quality but of deep pockets, and brands have to pay "slotting fees" to get shelf space. Things have changed in the way people buy and eat, and ATK ought to be in front of that movement rather than lagging behind. This should be taken as constructive criticism.

Just like most of your taste test you gloss over things. First and foremost, you should always, always list all of the contestants in the details section. Yes, almost always you show a few frames of the contestants but after all the trouble of making and posting a video why not list them. My first question is always, did you test the one I use? Why make it hard for me to answer that question? Doesn't make sense.
