Tahini is a sauce that is prepared by grinding toasted sesame seeds with garlic, olive oil and lemon.This is a major staple in the Mediterranean cuisine and has originated from Middle East. My close friend had made this on one occasion and it was absolute yum. This is a recipe that has been shared by her along with falafel wrap which I tried at home and became successful. This has got a creamy texture and a nutty flavor and can be paired with pita bread,falafel, hummus and can even be used as a salad dressing.
