Tahinni Paste (not sure of spelling)

[hilaryh]

Where can I buy this or has anyone a recipe for it. It is based on sesame seeds

[warpig3]

Any good supermarket should stock it. you could make it but I am sure it would be a lot easier to buy it.

Sainsbury's stocks it. You should find it over at their speciality area

Morrison's do a really good organic dark one. in our local shop it's stocked with the curry pastes and stuff - i've found the dark seed varieties to be much tastier than the light, and they seem to make a creamier sauce. it's also very good with bananas on toast - and the pale one isn't!

I've seen it in health food shops and holland & barrett

Most supermarkets now stock Tahini and you should be able to get it in a wholefood shop. It comes in *light* and *dark* versions but which one you buy is a matter of taste - one is mild and the other is a stronger taste (as Kim mentions above). It is a paste made from sesame seeds and is often used to make *hummus* - a chickpea and garlic dip from the Middle East, usually served with warm pitta breads (both of which are available ready made in most supermarkets as well).
