Thanks for that - didn't realise it was so simple - have now made a very tasty hommus with home made tahini!

Good for you, congratulations.

Tahini can also be served as a dip/spread itself, prepared in a similar way to houmous.  Add some lemon juice, salt, crushed garlic and thin it out with olive oil and/or water. Also nice with chopped parsley through it.

Tahini can be quite sticky to get out of the thermomix bowl (and I hate waste!). Warming the finished product to 37 degrees on stir for a minute or two makes it runnier so it's easy to pour into a container - thickens again as it cools

There is also a tahini recipe in the MWOC as part of a dip recipe i think?
