How to make Tahini Sauce?
The chief and only ingredient used in the Tahini sauce is sesame seeds. The sauce was found in Middle Eastern country and is also used for many special cuisines such as Hummus, Salads and Falafel. There are different ways to make Tahini sauce. A simple way is to just blend the sesame seeds well until it turns smooth and saucy. You can also toast the sesame seeds before blending it. The Hummus can also be prepared by blending oil, salt and sesame seeds.
How to prepare the chickpeas?
The chickpeas are the main ingredients in the Hummus. A hummus would be incomplete without them. The highly protein pea is also a most important ingredient in Middle Eastern countries. The chickpeas can be boiled into a dhal, used in hummus, soups, falafel and in chana masala. But how can the chickpeas be used in a hummus?
The method is simple! Soak the chickpeas in water for 10 hours. After the chickpeas are soaked boil them with salt. Peel off the skin after the chickpeas are boiled.
