Tips
Tahini is a sesame seed paste that can be purchased in well-stocked grocery stores or specialty food stores.
To roast garlic, preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut the top off a head of garlic (opposite the root end), to expose the cloves. Rub the head of garlic with olive oil and place in the center of a square sheet of aluminum foil. Wrap the aluminum foil up around the garlic and crimp to seal. Place in the middle of the oven and roast for about 1 hour or until the cloves are very tender. Let cool briefly before handling.
