Tahina, made from ground sesame seeds, is the ubiquitous dressing in Egypt. It is used to accompany fish, meats and even fuul and taameya sandwiches. Tahina can also be eaten as a dip on its own with bread, vegetables and grilled meats. It even lends itself well to be eaten sweet in the form of halawa, or simply mixed with molasses. Sesame seeds are the first recorded seasoning, dating back to 3000 BC. This recipe is for a savoury tahina sauce.
