  1. I couldn't get any tahini so I had to leave it out and I subbed toasted sesame oil for the olive oil in the hope of caputuring some of the flavour of the tahini. Loved the flavour of this....the only reason it's got three stars is because I found the texture to be too "loose", would have liked it to be a bit thicker. Don't know whether the tahini might have made that difference.
