Egyptian Story

Tahina is a cornerstone of Egyptian cuisine — from street carts to home kitchens.
It’s part of daily meals, paired with grilled fish, kofta, falafel, and ful.
In Egyptian culture, tahina sauce is a symbol of comfort food, always present during gatherings and family meals.

Usage

  • Mix into classic Egyptian tahina dip

  • Add to salads or dressings

  • Serve with seafood (especially Alexandrian style)

  • Use as a base for Baba Ghanoush

  • Spread onto sandwiches for extra richness

Classic Egyptian Tahina Dip

Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp tahina

  • 1–2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 crushed garlic clove

  • Water (to thin)

  • Salt

  • Optional: cumin, chopped parsley

Method:

  1. Mix tahina and lemon juice until thick.

  2. Add garlic and salt.

  3. Slowly add water and whisk until smooth.

  4. Adjust thickness to preference.

  5. Top with cumin or parsley.

Smooth, rich sesame paste with a deep, nutty taste.

Whisk with lemon, garlic and water for tahina sauce or use in hummus and dressings.

Tahina is energy-dense but also provides healthy fats and some protein from sesame seeds. Enjoy it as a flavourful part of meals rather than as a stand-alone snack.

Children often use bread as a ‘spoon’ to scoop up tahina alongside falafel or chips.
