Our easy creamy Thermomix Tahini is much better than store-bought versions and is made for a fraction of the cost. Use it in dips, dressings, spreads, salads, and so much more.
I love making Tahini in the Thermomix. It's incredible how these little sesame seeds are ground to become a wonderfully thick and creamy paste in just a few minutes.
I use it to make Thermomix Hummus and salad dressings. Still, there are endless possibilities with this versatile ingredient.
The nutty flavour can be used instead of nut butter in vegan baking which is handy for nut allergy sufferers. Tahini is also popular among health fanatics as it's a great source of healthy fats, vitamins and minerals.
