I managed to pick some up yesterday from Holland and Barrett. Does anyone have any good recipes to share?

Also, does tahini keep in the fridge, once the jar has been opened?

It is the classic required ingredient for hummus, so start there.

You can make humus with it. Here's a recipe but I generally just stick a bit of everything in, taste and adjust.

Many thanks for the suggestions. I made some hummus tonight - it's absolutely delicious with Ryvita thins

Tahini, I can eat it with a spoon
Alternatively, you can make some toast, spread on some marmite and top it off with tahini.
My Israeli friends eat it daily in stead of hummus : add a dash of lemon juice, olive oil, salt pepper and crushed garlic.

I sometimes make a dressing with tahini, garlic, shoyu, olive oil and lemon juice or rice wine vinegar. Lovely for an Oriental style coleslaw.

It's lovely in Baba Ghanoush an aubergine & tahini dip. There are loads of recipes on the internet eg http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandsty...hanoush-recipe
