Tahini is made of three ingredients: hulled sesame seeds, oil and sometimes salt. Hulled sesame seeds are typically toasted then ground and emulsified with oil to create a smooth, creamy seed butter with a pourable consistency.
Tahini. A sesame seed paste found in dishes like hummus, tahini can be added to recipes for a kick of roasted, nutty, sesame flavor. If an oil consistency is what you need, just dilute it some with a neutral oil (like canola oil) and add it to the recipe.
If you're missing the distinctive sesame flavor of tahini, look for sesame oil. Because it's an oil rather than a spread, it won't provide the same consistency and be a 1:1 swap, but a little drizzle will provide the sesame notes that you're searching for.
