طحينة الاحمر / Tahina al-hmr (Gazan red tahina)

Red tahina (tahini) is a variety of sesame paste originating in Gaza; it gives color and rich, nutty flavor to regional stews, salads, and dips. Red tahina is made with sesame seeds that have been roasted over direct heat to a rich golden brown—a lengthier process and one that produces a deeper, toastier flavor than the steaming or brief toasting that sesame seeds undergo to produce white tahina (طحينة بيضاء / tahina bayda').

This Palestinian speciality is disappearing in Gaza, as Israel has for decades issued punitive import laws controlling the movement of food, medicine, and other necessary supplies into Gaza and Palestinian occupied territory. Cheaper and more accessible white tahina, an import from Israel, is usually used—though the sesame seeds to create red tahina are sometimes smuggled into Gaza from Egypt. Home cooks may also toast Israeli white tahina with a little olive oil to recreate the taste of red tahina.

Today, Israel's total siege of Gaza continues as civilians run out of food, water, power, and medical supplies. Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) has put out an urgent call for donations to provide medical supplies to hospitals when supply lines reopen. Also contact your representatives in the USA, UK, and Canada.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup white or red hulled sesame seeds (or 1 part hulled and 1 part unhulled)

2 Tbsp all-purpose flour (optional)

1/4 cup vegetable oil

The inclusion of toasted flour in red tahina is, according to some, an innovation. It is possibly intended as a thickener, or to stretch the tahina with a cheaper ingredient. It may be omitted with no injury.

Instructions:

1. In a large dry skillet or wok on medium-low heat, toast hulled sesame seeds, stirring constantly. The roasted sesame seeds should be darkly golden brown, with a few more darkly brown in color.

Sesame seeds of increasingly darker colors.

2. (Optional) Add flour and toast, stirring constantly, for another several minutes until it is lightly golden brown. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

3. Grind all sesame seeds and flour together in a blender or mortar and pestle. Add oil and continue to grind or blend until smooth.

félek előavászkodni a témával

mikor párhuzamosan fut a virsliszred és a túróscsusza-szred, de... most vettem életemben először egy kis üveg tahini-t. Egy YT-csatornán láttam, hogy ez úristen milyen jó, gondoltam, akár ki is próbálhatnám. És most itt állok a kezemben a szezámpasztával, még nem kerestem rá az interneteken, hogy mihez, mivel, hogyan ajánlják, érdekelne a ti véleményetek, tapasztalatotok.

(a tahinis-virslis túróscsusza [tejföllel by default] már eszembejutott, arra nem kell már gondolnotok.) Most meghatározhatjátok, milyen legyen a tahini-szüzességem elvesztése. Rajta!

Real-time non-queue post for once because breaking news! Some of you will hate me for doing this, but those of you who try it yourselves will love me, so: chocolate hummus! Yeah, I know. I know! But..... I promise.

I don’t blame you if you can’t bring yourself to try it—I’m only brave enough because someone I trust gave it to me the US and it tasted like brownie batter. This recipe is almost as good—actually, I approximated the measurements so it's possible that it's even better(!). Also left the husks on for fiber and laziness.

Anyway, this shit is a godsend. I haven’t had an appetite this week because of stress so I figured why not give this a try, and wow, being able to have a tasty, nourishing lunch with this little effort (and secretly it's brownies!!!!) might have changed my life. Let it change yours!!!

Ingredients

For the hummus:

1 (15 oz) can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained (skins removed if you want extra creamy hummus!)

1/3 cup drippy tahini (or 1/2 cup peanut butter or other nut butter)

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder

1/3 cup pure maple syrup (use ½ cup if you like a sweeter hummus!)*

1/4 cup milk of choice (I use vanilla almond milk) plus more if necessary to thin

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

⅓ cup mini chocolate chips (dairy free if desired)**

For serving:

Berries, crackers, pita chips or pretzels *Subbed sugar. **Omitted. Where did my chocolate chips go???

Instructions

Add all the hummus ingredients besides the chocolate chips to a food processor or blender and process until smooth, adding more milk if necessary to thin to make it into a nice dip that’s the consistency of frosting. Stir in mini chocolate chips and sprinkle more on top once finished.

Serve in a bowl on a platter with strawberries, raspberries, crackers, pita chips, pretzels/pretzel thins, graham crackers or anything you like! Hummus will keep in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes - For silky hummus, I always cook my canned chickpeas for at least 10 min. in boiling water with baking soda. Also, if you're the type who removes the chickpea hulls, most of them come right off while it's boiling, so you can probably get it even smoother! - If the amount looks small compared to the recipe, you're not wrong! This was a test; I used maybe 1/3 of a can of chickpeas.

#me not being able to eat is uhh..... . unusual #while i could def stand to lose some weight.... it's not convenient #i have people to take care of! one of whom is dog! #i need energy. #make again #chickpeas #cocoa powder #tahini #milk #vanilla extract #sugar

طحينة / Tahina: Toasted sesame dip

"طَحِينَة" ("ṭaḥīna") is an Arabic word formed from the root ط ح ن (ṭ ḥ n), which produces words relating to grinding; compare "طَحَنَ"‎ ("ṭaḥana"), “to grind,” and "طَحِين"‎ ("ṭaḥīn"), "flour." In English, the word is often spelled and pronounced "tahini" due to the influence of a colloquial Levantine pronunciation. Tahina may also be called "رهش" ("rahash"), "راشي") ("rashi"), or "هردة" ("harada").

This paste is produced by steaming, hulling, and then stone milling sesame seeds until they release their oil, resulting in a smooth, pourable texture. It may be called "طَحِينَة بَيْضَاء" ("ṭaḥīna bayḍā'"), "white tahina," to differentiate it from darker-colored tahinas that are produced by toasting sesame seeds before they are ground, or from grinding unhulled sesame seeds; but "tahina" without further specification is taken to mean "white tahina."

Tahina may be eaten on its own as a dip or sauce; it also forms the primary ingredient in طراطور (tarator), a tahina sauce with lemon juice and garlic. Tahina adds deep, nutty flavor to hummus, baba ghannouj, and halwa.

Recipes for homemade tahina call for some amount of oil to be added to ground sesame seeds, since most homes are not set up to do hours of stone milling. This means that homemade tahina is, in my opinion, likely an inferior product to something you can buy at the store. However, sometimes you have emergency tahina needs.

This recipe provides instructions for taking sesame seeds as far towards a pourable texture as possible without additional oil, using a mortar and pestle to imitate the traditional stone grinding; it also gives instructions for using an electric mill or blender.

Recipe under the cut!

Patreon | Tip jar

Equipment:

A spice mill or coffee grinder

OR a high-speed blender

OR a high-quality, well-seasoned, solid stone or metal mortar and pestle

Ingredients:

1/4 cup hulled sesame seeds

2 Tbsp - 1/4 cup sesame oil (untoasted), as necessary

Instructions:

1. Toast sesame seeds, agitating frequently, in a single layer in a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Remove when lightly golden brown.

Some home cooks toast half of the sesame seeds and leave the other half untoasted.

2. With a mortar and pestle: Thoroughly scrub and oil a large mortar and pestle. Add seeds in small batches and process, alternating between pounding and grinding, until a fluffy, powdered texture results.

Continue, alternating between pounding the powder all together in the middle of the mortar, and spreading it into a thin layer along the sides of the mortar and scraping, until it begins to resemble a paste. You will start to see oil shimmer at the surface.

Keep pounding and scraping, in batches of about 1 Tbsp at a time, until the tahina looks smooth and shiny, and you no longer see noticeable lumps in it. Repeat until all the seeds have been ground.

Combine all the paste into one bowl. Slowly, and while stirring, add just enough sesame oil as required to obtain a pourable texture.

This batch took me about four hours of hand-grinding and yielded about 3 Tbsp of tahina (I didn't say this was a good idea).

2. With a spice or coffee grinder: Allow toasted seeds to cool and then grind them, occasionally shaking the grinder, until very fine. Remove into a bowl and mix in oil.

2. With a blender: grind sesame seeds and oil together for several minutes until very smooth. You will likely need to make a larger batch, depending on the size of your blender.

3. Use immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
