With the use of lime and olive oil, this could be "Greek", although it isn't called that. Also the result is of a "creamy" consistency, suitable for dipping fries.

Servings unknown Correct this (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kelp (optional)
6 teaspoons water
1/2 cup sesame seed, finely ground

Directions

1
Blend lime juice, olive oil, kelp & water at medium speed.
2
Slowly add the ground sesame seeds.
3
Continue blending until the mixture is like thick heavy cream.
4
Notes: Add more sesame to make mixture more paste-like. Then this paste can be used for making hummus.
5
* The kelp acts as a mild thickening agent. This recipe works just fine without it. The kelp would add some salt to the mix, so if kelp isn't used, a pinch of salt is in order.

Thanks for the recipe! I wanted to make hummus, but didn't have any tahini. . . realized I had sesame seeds and could probably make it myself - which I did!

This is my first time making and eating tahini. I liked it very much. I made this to go with najwa's Greek style turkey burgers and they were great together. Thank you for a new experience for my taste buds......Stephanie

As I am of Greek extraction, I know all too well that this CAN be categorized as Greek. Tahini is very commonly used in Greek cuisine and can be used many ways. Very good.
