That’s great to see so many recipes with tahini – thanks for including the one from my blog – hope to try lots of the others – I love tahini!
No worries at all Johanna – as I mentioned to you, I love the fact your falafels are oven baked and not deep fried.
I always used to think that tahini was a poor substiture for butter but a) it’s a lot easier to spread and b) you get used to the taste after a while.
Thank your for this post my friend. I’ve only been using tahini for hummus :)
No worries Cynthia.
