few tips from the middle east:
add the garlic an salt AFTER the water and lemon. you'll have more control on the tahini's taste.
NEVER use warm water- ice cold water or even ice cubes makes the tahini creamy and white, and cancels some of the bitternes of the tahini.
i also love adding pinch of cumin and a lot of herbs like parsley and mint.
serve it with falafel, shawarma, kabab and shaksshuka and it is f-ing great
thank you!
Todaraba
Thank you
Thank you!
Great, reminds me of my time in Haifa.
Hi Chef, I am arabic and just wanted to tell you that you can replace the water with plain greek yogurt and it will be much more rich and delicious
Never heard of that, wouldnt the yogurt make it taste different?
Really? I'm an Arab as well (Palestinian) and in my mother has used water. I think she's used yogurt before as well... But usually it's water.
i just asked my mom & she said that even where we are from they use yogurt too. my bad, just because i am used to using water, which shows you that one way is not the only one. also, food is all dependent on taste.
I'm Egyptian and we use water. In fact, he made it exactly like my dad used to make.
I like to use greek yogurt as well as water. Gives it a much better taste.
when he said sumac i looked at the sumac tree i have in my backyard and than he said "not the one in your backyard" and than i shit my pants
This Tahini sauce, I know not well,
I follow Chef John, so what the hell.
Too much garlic, no such thing,
in sauce, or steak, or chicken wing!
Bring the garlic, some cayenne too,
flavors right for me and for you!
Texture so right it holds a line
fresh on your meal or even mine.
Chef John will shine quite like no other,
my culinary friend from another mother!
Why do I love this so much???

That wind a like a rap
Tahini paste can also be used in sweet recipes. Try mixing it with some honey and a pinch (very small pinch) of cinnamon. It makes a great spread and/or dip for bread. Where I come from there's a confectionery called halvas, which is made with tahini paste. We usually eat it during fasting periods because it contains no animal products. There's also a sweet pastry called tahinopita, again with tahini paste as a main ingredient.
babablacksheepdog Those sound delicious. Wish I had some right now!
I really like halva!
*****
Yes!
babablacksheepdog halawa in Arabic and no it’s not made like you described but it’s eaten with bread and cheese where I’m from and most middle eastern countries
So if you go sweet with cinnamon and honey, then garlic is a no go, right?
It's refreshing how brutally honest you are. You F'd up your recipe and and you point blank tell us and joke about it. Best channel on youtube.
The reference to Whodini was priceless and immediately counted you as a friend :) Thanks for the recipe!
You could be a great Voice Over actor for a fun Pixar Movie.
ZZP Zing Pheonix yeah yeah yeah thus right
ZZP Zing Pheonix I was thinking the same thing the other day!
I agree he has a unique voice
Those are very positive observations. I wanted rip my ears off.
Bingo!
Where is the caynne pepper John .???
Just wanted to say that instead of using lemon juice and olive oil, we use homemade yogurt when we make this at home. It comes out with a good texture and good taste, and yes, we do like a little extra garlic =).
Although, my family does go through the trouble of starting from scratch and roasting the sesame seeds to make the paste. Roasting the sesame seeds definitely changes up the flavor a little, and the yogurt helps balance that.
Mix Honey with Tahini and you'll have a spread that can keep you going for a day. That was practically my lunch for last autumn.
I have a suggestion as an Egyptian expert in Tahini, adding cumin and chilli flakes to the dressing with the lemon juice and one glove of garlic will give it a great taste. Enjoy! :-)
Shaimaa Elshatter I would never take advice about food from an Egyptian because truth be told that it’s a known fact that the best Arabic food comes from Lebanon Syria and Palestine. You Egyptians are horrible cooks! All your foods are لغويس
@@edbtzkhud :
Lebanon, for the win!
Main reason why chef john is my nigga! He tells us his mistakes so we cannot make the same mistake.
Most youtube chefs make that recipe perfect everytime... There just too good i guess.....
My nigga chef john!
someoneyouknow12 Lol 😆
I love Chef John's old school rap/hip hop knowledge! It's always on point, word! 😉 Adore him. ❤️
As a Middle-eastern I can tell you that you forgot to put one of the most important ingredients: cumin and black pepper.
Also you add a bet of white vinegar to thicken it up a bit before pouring in water.
You sir, must be a wizard. Was recently wondering when you were going to do more vegan/vegetarian recipes for us crazy people. Can't wait for the falafel!
decompyler did you eat it? Was it good?
He is the houdini of tahini.
No cayenne pepper? Who are you and what have you done with Chef John?
“You bit into your peanut butter toast and was like, what the hell is this?” 🤣
just want to give a quick language info:
in the correct Arabic it's pronounced (Tahinah) طحينه with a short a, and a light h. but some dialects in the northern region of middle east ( Lebanon, Syria .. etc) they pronounce it Tahini, with a short i, i mean the last i only.
ant's a derived word from (Tahn) طحن means grounding, it''s basically sesame seeds grounded or smashed. so it's named after the process.
thank you ^^
Nice
I am so wet for you
Thank you. It's always good to learn new things, even at 76.
Shukran.
Ah man I did not think I would be seeing more censored balls today.
one of the best cooking channels on youtube unpretentious and easy to follow great work
"The Ketchup of Middle East" lol
The best tahini:
a cup of tahini
juice from half a lemon
garlic (not too much)
cumin
salt
pepper
parsley
hot paprika
1/3 cup of humus paste
mix with a hand blender to make it smooth and fluffy.
Then add COLD water slowly and mix until wanted consistency.
Nice video. A comment and a couple of suggestions: 1. You should use ice-cold water and not warm water. It makes the tahini come out much paler, almost white. I don't think it alters taste or texture, but it's pretty and customary around here.
2. You should try adding a pinch of cumin to your tahini. It's great.
3. A very popular and extremely delicious variety is Lebanese green tahini - after making the tahini sauce, stir in (or blend in) A LOT of finely chopped parsley. The oils from the parsley color the whole thing a lovely shade of green and the taste is a lot fresher, works amazing on salads (though not as popular on fried stuff like falalfel).
Thanks!
Thanks, Chef John! This recipe turned out GREAT!! I only had a fresh lime on hand, so I used that and it still turned out AMAZING! I was conservative with the garlic as you suggested, but ended up adding a little more garlic anyway. We put this on falafels and it was YUM!!! Thank you for the awesome recipe!
Actually, in the province in Iran that my family lived, we have sesame seed paste all the time!! It's an acquired taste for sure, but we have it most often with dates and it's one of the favourite snacks there!
As an Israeli Im bound to love Tahini and Falafel (looking forward to the vid), I also make Tahini on a weekly basis and I recommend adding a bit of Cumin and black pepper. (also chopped parsley if you like it.)
love your videos!
I totally feel your pain, chef John, I'm a garlic lover and many times ruin a recipe because of the garlic overload. So, could the next "mystery" recipe be falafel? I think I may be right! (Nevermind... just saw the end of the video and saw that yes... I was right). =)
I try to neutralize it with some acidity (lemon juice or vinegard) before ... it takes out some of the strenght
You're so very wonderful, not blowing smoke either. I appreciate your videos and can imagine breaking bread at an area diner type thingy. I hope you're safe and well, cheers 😊
Most honest chef ever :), if Bobby Flay ever makes mistake probably he just mad at his assistant and cover up operation commenced.
I believe in the next video we will see some crispy Falafels!
Ah damn! I wrote that comment half-way through the video before I had seen the end :/ I am proud of mysef, yet disappointed at the same time.
bovko did the same thing
I think a garlic/yoghurt sauce goes far better with falafel tbh.
Will be koftas not falafel
Adrian H. of course not it's always gonna be tahina sauce because it's both Arabian dish and that's how we eat it and that's how we like it !! ... I mean seriously yogurt with felafels ? thats disgusting obviously u were eating super fucked up felafels !
Very nice and I just LOVE sauces and seasoning mixes. They make dishes come together sooo quickly and flavorful, in a very short time, which is important for a parent like me.
I use a zester for the garlic then add to the fresh squeezed lemon juice, cover refrigerat for up to 2hrs the use a fine mesh strainer to add to the tahini, not only does the lemon juice tame the garlic but not having chunks of garlic in the hummus or tahini makes it smoother
In my opinion u must replace the water with yogurt like 3/2 tablespoon of yogurt if you dont have it use sour cream
And eat tahinie with kebab
Some times i eat it with plain burger
Thanks for the video
This is why I like your channel so much. You could have just started over and we would never know. Even Chefs can make mistakes while cooking. I like garlic. Just not that much raw garlic. LOL
2:09 "You are the Whodini of your Tahini. And I don't mean the magician. I mean the group from Brooklyn that wrote "Freaks Come Out At Night". Your Whodini reference earns you a new subscriber. Well played, sir.
Hey this the Burger Dude I recognize that voice....lol
We , Arabs , add yogurt instead of water , which gives it a rich and amazing taste and balance the garlic and Tahina .
I'm in love with your channel though .. a veryyyy old fan !
LOL....the sugar free, peanut butter story is PRICELESS! I purchased some thinking..how healthy it would be. AND your reaction is the BEST!
Jordanian tip : Just do this directly mixing the tahini, some oil and the rest of the ingredients with hummus in a dish. Now you have super nice hummus ready :). No need to freeze it or anything.
you know that sesame ground seed. if you mix it with some date jam it will taste soo good.
EXCELLENT TUTORIAL... COMES OUT PERFECTLY! Thank you so much!! Such a simple thing but following others never came out right...
I LOVE this variation. I added garlic in mine, tahini is amazing!
Lol I remember that damn peanut butter!
This guy sounds SO excited about food and I love it! He should do voiceovers for cartoons or narrations like this one!
John, I have perfectly edible non-poisonous sumac all over my farm. You just have to google it and look closely at the images and learn the difference between edible and non-edible plants. I have loads of staghorn sumac. You are unlikely to encounter poison sumac unless you're in a bog or wetlands. The berries are green or white and hang down like grapes.
Harmless edible sumacs generally grow on dry areas, fields, fencerows, roadsides. I don't pick from roadsides due to contamination from car exhaust. The edible berries are vivid red, and almost always in upright, pointed, horn or cone shaped clusters.
Hi Chef, great video thanks for sharing I can't wait to make your sauce. You are so funny and you have a great speaking voice. Thanks again.....
This is an interesting mixture using tahini. My father is from the Middle East and I always watched him mix fresh plain yogurt with tahini (not a lot of tahini actually, it's runny but very dense in taste). It is so simple but an amazinggggg topping for wraps, döners (or gyros), falafel, kibbeh, or even shish kebabs.
Brazilian/Syrian
Haha thanks :)
It's been a long time since I've had peanut butter with sugar in it.
I can listen to you all day
It's a good thing I rewatched this video before making my tahini. I'm a huge fan of garlic so I needed that reminder!
Hey Chef John! I understand what you're saying about overdoing it, but there's no such thing as too much garlic! 😋😂😂
I subscribed because of your voice and humor
There is no such thing as "too much" garlic!
Jay not for the tahini if you want to much garlic eat a plain clove
Damnit. I really wanted a shot of the inside of the falafel after he took a bite.
You're such a tease chef John...
Best sauce ever!! I ate it with self-made baked potatoe chips! Very delicious!
Yayyyyyyy falafel! They're little balls of joy :)
Great great recipe I m into whole food plant based diet i got scared of tahini because it soo caloric but with this recipe I could drive down the caloric density by using water just like mayo vinaigraite
Definitely making this! Got lotsa sesame seeds and olive oil, so tahini is really easy to bash up. Other then that, lemons garlic and water are staples!
I never taste my food and it's always soooooooooo good. I can tell by the smell if it has enough salt. It's my mutant power.
I like the way you drizzle things in, chef.
Living in Israel, I'd say humus is the ketchup of the middle east while tahina is more like the mustard. Though it may be different in other countries.
So much so, that I thought you were going to pair the tahina with kebabs, since humus is usually the main condiment of choice with Falafel (though people add tahina too).
Agreed, although it's worth noting that Israeli ketchup is incredible - and I'm an American. Regards from Haifa.
Charles Ferguson I don't like Israeli ketchup as much as I like Heinz ketchup. I also hope you are talking about Osem and not Meitav ketchup.
Cheers from Beit Shemesh (also American)
***** Ha, you're the first Israeli that I've heard say that. Actually, homemade. Whenever I have it here, it's different. I typically like vinegar, but I guess the overly - vinegar Heinz killed it for me. Cheapened the flavor, paired with every fast food burger that I ever had. It reminds me of Hersheys chocolate and how they use sour milk for their basic, flagship chocolate. Also, I dislike their Anti-Israeli politics. John Kerry's wife is the daughter of that family, so.. Not buying.
Charles Ferguson I think you're letting politics shape your food preferences. I don't like Hershey that much, but Heinz has a better umami taste IMO. I also don't think I really qualify as someone with an Israeli taste.
Oh man, that's some next level telepathy. Just the other day a coworker mentioned she was craving for something doughy and fried (such as we call salgadinhos in Brazil), and I immediately thought of falafel and started craving it myself. I could see right through the blurred shot, haha
To make tahini sauce first ingredient you need is tahini sauce. Wow 👏🏽
You are so funny, really enjoy your videos! Just saw this recipe today, I recently bought sumac so can't wait to use it for this!
In Egypt Garlic is only used when tahina is served with Fish...also instead of water try throwing in a big spoon of yogurt, if its too think ad a few drops of water...and if you make the paste yourself at home add some raw peanuts in there.
Also there are many varieties of sweet tahina...the most popular and easiest is adding it to molasses (and maybe throw in some grounded peanuts or Pistachio) and eat it with pita bread...Perfection!
Tahini costs a FORTUNE here in Manila so after almost six years of preparing dips without that ingredient, I'm finally preparing my own (I just bought a kilogramme of sesame seeds today, in fact).
I must buy some tahini so I can have falafal. Chickpeas are at the ready . . . can’t wait. Thank you chef John.
Oh my god, I am looking so much forward to the falafel video. *Definitely* making those and this as soon as possible!
I loved this!!!!! My red meat and potatos husband enjoyed this as well.
im from middle east and I always eat tahini sauce and falafels… but I never did them at home before but its really easy so I'm gonna do this sauce ;)
I've made CJ's wonderful falafel recipe _so_ often with this sauce. His could be rescued, adding more tahini, etc. to dilute the excess garlic back to standard strength, what's left being frozen. As falafels and this sauce are vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, crispy and delicious, you get a dish that appeals to virtually everyone. As drinks parties 'nibbles', _zoomph_ and they're gone!
I lurvv tahini on falafel, but I'm obsessed about garlic sauce on chicken shawarma. Just a little teaser about what I'm hoping to see. Love your work.
Every time I look up a recipe, you seem to be the one I pick. I wish I could have been trained under you, but that's OK I have you on UA-cam. Problem solved. :)
You are the Mike Sweeney of your tahini, after all!
Midle-east ketchup is good I like it and now I know how to make it. Usually I buy it when I see it but not anymore. Thanks for upload. ✌️
Thank you Chef John for the Tahini Sauce with your twist ! We would add chopped parsley with Aleppo Red Pepper (Armenian style) and cumin powder. This is the basic Lebanese way . It's yummy with falafel, shawerma etc Enjoy !
Ahh so thats why my Tahini was like peanut butter. Even though this video is 6 years old it's still extremely helpful now. Thank you
Love your videos! Love your humor!
That mistake you did at the beginning of the video where you added a lot of garlic is actually *crucial* in one of our mideast appetizers. fateh, with hummus or chicken both are delicious and require lots of garlic ^_^
Love your recipes! Plus your a natural comic. Every time I watch your stuff, I can't stop laughing!!!
FALAFEL!!!!!!!!! Thank you! I can't wait!
I wanna be a spice dealer.... No really I want to open a spice shop. Where we roast our own spices !! Investors Wanted !!
Pack up your spaceship and move to Arrakis =P
***** Dune right?
I'd like to be a spice dealer. Like, out on the corner.
is that what the kids call smoking marijuana now? roasting spices
I'm a big garlic fan, so that sauce is right up my alley.
came here for a tahini sauce recipe, didn't expect to laugh so much from the commentary haha great job and great recipe too
omg I'm so excited for the falafel video! :D
Chef John! As a long time follower, and American living in Israel, this is great! I make this often here in Haifa, and this is an excellent recipe,including the olive oil. Here, we pronounce it "t'hina." Emphasis on the Hebrew, choking on your tongue "H" sound. I cannot wait to see your falafel recipe. Keep up the excellent videos, I use them often! In fact, I made your tomato bisque just last week. Also, I have an absolutely incredible video/recipe suggestion for you, if you're interested.. I've customized this traditional recipe myself, and I think it would be great for your channel. Let me know. It's the perfect follow-up to any Mediterranean dishes.
Tahini: the catsup of the Middle East ... Man o' man, to say nothing of it's nutritional value! Catsup never had it so good. For added protein, it shines in smoothies; just a tablespoon, or a little bit more; but not two, or it will become bitter. Some people like peanut butter. I am totally dedicated to tahini! 😘
Still waiting for the Persian dessert chef, you can't just skip it
I always watch your videos...and try some of them...thank you very much ..you are so funny
"The Ketchup of the Middle East" Couldn't have described it better myself. Well done chef.
I just subscribed. I love your recipes and the way you present them. I can't wait to try this tahini and then I'm going to make your falafel patties. I'm so excited--I've never made this before! Thank you, John!!
I could put tahini on everything. Sometimes, I make it into a salad dressing which is just awesome. This version is quite different from my family's version but I'm sure its just as good.
I have never try tahini sauce. Im thrilled to try this one :)
Awesome as usual Chef! Thanks :)
"And you took a bite of your peanut butter toast and said what the hell is that?"
Made my day
"Mom, what the hell is this?" LMAO!
When you put a comedian and a professional chef together
Tip: what’s missing is a bit of cumin and a splash of white vinegar. I love all your videos, Chef John
I made this for Falafel sandwiches.. Delicious. I definitely recommend this recipe.Thank you for posting it.
