Tahini is used a lot in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking and can usually be found in hummus, baba ghanoush, and halva. On its own, tahini can taste a little bitter. Something magical happens when it’s mixed with lemon and garlic though. When tahini is mixed with water, it actually thickens, and tahini dressing will thicken as it sits in the fridge, so more water might be needed if you’re not using it right away.
