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

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?

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.

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.
By: dedemed

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

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

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

you can eat it with falafel, chicken, shawarma, kefta, fish, this really goes well with anything.
By: dedemed
