Kasrah is often eaten with dips, such as babaghanuj, a dip made of mashed, roasted eggplant mixed with lemon, tahini, and a pinch of salt. |
This potato and chickpea paste is rolled out like dough and filled with sauteed onion, pinenuts, currants, allspice, and tahini. |
Make the dressing by mixing the yoghurt, tahini paste and olive oil in a blender or with a small whisk. |
For the hummus, place the chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice and tahini in a food processor with two teaspoons of the cumin. |
Other common Arab dishes include shish kebab and falafel, which are deep fried balls of chickpeas served with tahini. |
One of the cheapest and easiest 'deli' foods to make, hummus is essentially chickpeas pureed with tahini and other flavours added. |
