- RecipesMeatballs Simmered in Tehina
Why this recipe works: Tahini, a potent paste made from toasted sesame seeds, has a texture similar to natural peanut butter. Apart from its being a core ingredient in hummus, we love it in our drizzle-friendly Tahini Sauce. We wanted this sauce to take center stage, so we made it do double duty by mixing it with bread crumbs as a riff on a panade and also spooning it over the finished meatballs on a bed of warmly spiced couscous with roasted red peppers and pickled onions.
