A traditional Turkish spread/dip. This has been referrred to as the 'peanut butter and jelly sandwich of Turkey'. I don't know how true that is, but a PB&J sandwich-even if it's a Turkish version sounds good to me! Depending on the recipe source, sometimes the ratio of grape molasses to tahini is 1:1. Experiment.

3/4 cup (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a bowl combine the ingredients. Some recipes online indicate to mix well while others stir the ingredients together in a "swirly" manner (think of a marbled cake). I'll let you decide that.
  2. 2
    Serve at room temperature.
  3. 3
    Use as a spread/dip with Turkish or Arabic bread, French bread, etc.

This is delicious. I used organic tahini. I will make this again as a snack or breakfast served with flat bread. Made for Ramadan Tag.
