Thumbs up if you think shes Palestinian

[dedemed]

@owdi2631992 I'm not, I'm 100% Lebanese born in DETROIT!

[hiraj15979]

Hi Dede, lovely recipes! However am facing a problem. I dont have a oven to cook the sesame seeds to make tahini. How do I do it on a plain old stove?

[dedemed]

@hiraj15979 just toast them in a pan, no need to add anything, toast them until they are light brown.

[Gabrielitodlp]

Thanks for the videos. I really needed to know how to make these dishes since I moved to another country and its hard or impossible to find arab food.

[dedemed]

@Gabrielitodlp awww that's so sweet, I'm glad you like them. Please check out my site for other recipes I'm sure you'll like :)

[njprakkat]

Can we use olive oil instead of the vegetable oil to make the tahini paste?

[dedemed]

@njprakkat you can use a light olive oil b/c you don't want the taste of the olive oil to interfere with the taste of the sesame seeds.

[rullah28]

do you know if the halal gyro cart on 53rd and 6th ave in NY uses tahini sauce?(their famous white sauce)

[dedemed]

@rullah28 it's either tahini sauce or tzatziki sauce, both are on my site :)

[diannersaur]

How else can you make it if you don't have a food processor? Will a blender do?

[dedemed]

@diannersaur yes a blender will work :)

[aleica]

Thanks for the video. but what you are going to eat with it? how do you eat with the prepared sauce?

[dedemed]

@aleica you can eat it with falafel, chicken, shawarma, kefta, fish, this really goes well with anything.

[aleica]

@dedemed thanks for the reply. Tahini can only be prepared from roasted sesame, right? and also, can I used tahini sauce from your recipe as a dipping sauce for sliced lamb meat barbecue?

[dedemed]

@aleica Yes tahini is made from toasted sesame seeds. And yes tahini sauce goes great with lamb, chicken, falafel, beef and even fish :)

[harrys2912]

Goes very well with a tuna salad.

[dedemed]

@harrys2912 very interesting :) I like it with most fish too!

[Kendall5199]

This is good but I was trying to make the tahini from the seeds without buying the paste.

[dedemed]

@Kendall5199 for the tahini paste check out my tahini paste recipe from scratch :)

[dedemed]

@Kendall5199 this recipe is tahini sauce not tahini paste, for tahini paste check out my other recipe :)

[fabfauna]

How long is the Tahini sauce good for?

[dedemed]

@fabfauna that sauce is good for about a week or so but the tahini jar is good for a few months, just keep it sealed.

[cphunt]

Glad to find your recipes. Look forward to exploring your website for recipes!

I noticed you don't add olive oil to your tahini sauce recipe. Other recipes do. Is one way more authentic than the other? Thanks again.

[dedemed]

@cphunt I personally don't add any olive oil b/c the sesame paste has enough natural oil in it. There are many different recipes for this and I would say they are all authentic, just made the way each person likes it :)

[redrubymist]

For some reason, this tasted really bitter to me. I added a bit of olive oil and it helped a bit. How can I get rid of this bitterness?

[dedemed]

@redrubymist just add a little more lemon juice and some water, that will do the trick :)

[418608]

please do a video for tahini halwa!

[dedemed]

@418608 coming soon :)

[TheSeprioth]

I luv this tahina sauce and you explain it very good easy for me to make and I always wanted to know how to make it like the shawarma store exactly like shukran!

[dedemed]

@TheSeprioth you are so welcome, the written recipe is on my site :)

[martisbvk]

You use chopped garlic in a lot of your recipes. Is this raw garlic or is it cooked in some way?

[dedemed]

@martisbvk it is raw garlic and very healthy for you :)

[eveta1980]

I made this and I was amazed how good it tasted .. just like the sauce I have at my favorite middle eastern restaurant .. thanks Dede you ROCK!

[dedemed]

@eveta1980 thanks so much for the comment, check out my site for other recipes I think you'll like :)

[598sapphire895]

We were making falafel sandwiches yesterdday (we know have it atleast once a week, usually more) and iwhen me make them we put chips in them (as in fries) and i randomly decided to dip in tahini and it tasted great! we finished off most off most ofthe chips like that

[dedemed]

@598sapphire895 very good idea, you can even add some mayonnaise to the tahini sauce and it makes it thicker for a dipping sauce for the fries.

[598sapphire895]

a week ago and a bit ago, we made it with homemade tahini (from ur videos) and today we're making it from shop bought tahini paste; lets see if theres a difference!

[dedemed]

@598sapphire895 :)

[zikmir007]

best way ! thanks !

[datzfast]

i also like this on salad i dress one side with tahini the other with raspberry and go back and forth. a gastronomic threesome.

[dedemed]

@datzfast LOL, check out my Mediterranean Salad :)

[sinsha1974]

Hi,

I will try to make the Tahini sauce today. Can I put water to the sesame seeds while grinding or does it have to be only oil?

[dedemed]

@sinsha1974 it has to be only oil. THen after you make the tahini paste, use what you need to make the tahini sauce. Check out the written recipes on my site :)

[datzfast]

@sinsha 1974 do not use peanut oil it will taste like peanut butter.

[ukgardener]

looks great thanks for sharing

[dedemed]

@ukgardener anything to help out :)

[gor069]

Surely fresh tahini would taste better?

[dedemed]

@gor069 just watch my tahini from scratch video, you can definitely use fresh tahini to make tahini sauce :)

[golancation]

you rock dear ...

keep up the good work!

golan

[laidbackbazmac]

I add garlic to this sauce. nice with kebabs.

[dedemed]

@laidbackbazmac so do I, check out the written recipes all on my site :)

[imnotabear]

i get raw sesame seeds mail order and make a completely raw tahini that is not bad. toasting the sesame probably brings out more flavor but I'd like to recommend trying it raw for even better health

[tanja4857]

GREAAAATTTT.. i dont get tahini sauce either, but with sesame great idea, just how to get the sesame as a paste , cause i guess after toasting they are going to be still hard. or just adding some oil??? pleaseeee help....

[Semicton]

tahini has gone up from $4.99 to $8.99 at my local store since last year...

[dedemed]

@Semicton

Check out my recipe on how to make tahini from scratch :)

[Semicton]

I'm afraid even sesame seeds are too expensive at my local store to make it from scratch. 16 oz of sesame seeds costs $6.99 so I'm going to start purchasing it on amazon though.

[datzfast]

@Semicon its dedemeds fault she turning our gastronomic taste toward middle eastern cuisine. and as Americans returning from the middle east wars, you know they want their friends to try it. i scored about five jars on clearance and paid about a dollar hah ha where i live people never use it.

[dearyogini]

I like how you say 'tahini!' It sounds like you are saying 'teeny.' I pronounce it tah-HEE-nee.

[mirabal36]

I am so glad I found you, you made my day thank you, hope to see more of you and the dishes

God bless

[dedemed]

thank you mirabal, check out my site too, i think you'll like it.

Happy Cooking!

[debmolino]

Thank You, very helpful.

[ShootAndSpin]

I think the kind I had tonight was yogurt-based, but I'm not 100% sure. It was delicious on the lamb, and even the pine nut, rice and cinnamon mixture I had.

[gajediws]

we dont get tahina in my country so how do you make tahina pets?if you could help me out with this ....thnx

[dedemed]

I would suggest lightly toasting sesame seeds and then grinding them in a good food processor. Then strain it so it is smooth, this should work to make you tahini paste.

[bhatiat]

HI Dede

That is quick recipe, I have a question. I found garlic paste too when I was looking for tahini paste. Do you suggest fresh garlic over garlic paste to mix in tahini paste?

Thanks for all the recipes.

[dedemed]

I do suggest fresh garlic b/c it is always better to use fresh ingredients :)

[skillaziaat]

i am from holland but i dont know were to buy tahini

[dedemed]

You can find it at any Greek, Turkish, Middle Eastern store or you can buy it on my site :)

[skillaziaat]

i already have buyt it of a turkish store ty

[soulchild027]

DEDE

thank you very much for this recipe

I just made it right now and oh man its amazing

YOU'RE AMAZING!

Thank you!

[aspectra]

This recipe worked amazing with feta hamburgers.

[dedemed]

Check out my recipe for Mediterranean Burgers :)

[Squabbles10]

What is Teani ?

[dedemed]

Ground sesame seeds :)

[princesschetaw]

thnx a lot for this video! i want to use this on baked fish. do i put the tahini sauce on the fish before or after i bake it?

[dedemed]

I would suggest lightly searing the fish first then bake with the tahini sauce for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees and top with sauteed onions :)

[princesschetaw]

thnx so much! i tried it today and it turned out really yummy :)))

[aurayon]

I'm going to make this tonight and serve it with roasted cauliflower :)

[dedemed]

sounds amazing!

[pigjamelectric]

Hi dede, I always thought the white colour came from yogurt. I now know many recipes don't call for it either. How does yogurt, or lack thereof, play on the taste?

Neverthess, tonight it's chicken pitas and your recipe will be in it :)

[dedemed]

Greek or Mediterranean yogurt has a nice lemony flavor and it helps to smooth out the flavor of the ingredients, it is an amazing touch to making hummus :)

[f013264]

Dede your so awsome I'm naming my daughter after you!!!

[dedemed]

thank you, what an honor. Yes, this is a my original recipe, some people don't add garlic, some don't add onions or parsley, just make it the way it makes you happy ;)

[ShaxDr87]

Now I want falafel -.- !!

Next time I get some money I must buy a mixer and a frier so I can make falafel with this sauce! Thanks.

[dedemed]

eating this food is definitely worth the cost. Plus you'll save money b/c you won't have to eat out :)

[ShaxDr87]

Yeah that's truth. Here in Sweden in my town, it's very expensive to buy falafel out I think.... It's like 7 -9 dollars perhaps. :/ depends on how much the dollar is worth in our value. For fastfood, that hurts in the wallet hehe :P

[greenfrog140]

hi dede, what type of oil comes from Tahini sause? is it from the sesame seeds itself? or is it another oil added to tahini sause?

[dedemed]

The oil in tahini sauce is from the sesame seeds themselves, they give off this oil when ground up :)

[jinchuriki83]

thanks alot dede :))

[jinchuriki83]

how do we actually make the tahini? plz can u show us that....

[dedemed]

All you need is toasted sesame seeds and then blend them in a really good blender, then run them through a stainer.

[mcteemer]

i was just wondering what tahini really is.

[dedemed]

tahini is 100% ground toasted sesame seeds :)

[Esunshine71]

try to add yogurt. it test very good.

[HitItBaby]

Yeah i was thinking about that. Ive never tasted tahini sauce without yoghurt.

[dedemed]

tahini with yogurt is used for different recipes life fatteh and kefta with tahini sauce.

[blacksmoke1020]

Dede, do you find it necessary to refrigerate tahini, or would you just add hot water to the cold tahini to thin it out?

[dedemed]

No, you don't need to refrigerate tahini, just make sure it is sealed well. IF you refrigerate it then it will become too firm and stiff. Do not add water to that tahini jar but you can add it to the tahini in the bowl. :)

[x1MissWorld1x]

I love Tahini.. I prefer homemade most times because some brands I've tried have a weird taste.. I'll surely try your recipe ^_^ Thanks Dede!

[ac7933]

kibbeh patties please.
