I have a question about Jewish food.

[J.C.]

You know how you see Jewish people eating Pita Bread or Flat bread, but dipping it in some red sause? It looks like BBQ sause. Anyway, does anyone know what that sause is?

I have the Pita bread down but not the sause. I like to dab into the Jewish traditions alittle, and cook there type of food especially when passover comes around.

In Christ's Love,

J.C.

Where have you been that you have seen them dipping their bread into a red sauce? Perhaps you should just ask them what it is.

I make my own Humus (kind of like a bean dip), and eat it with pita. I also enjoy Tehina sauce. It is white though. I am not familiar with any kind of red sauce used for dipping bread in.

I will say that the horseradish I use at my Passover seders is red. I don't know if that helps. Like I said, the next time you see them, ask them what it is. They might invite you to sit and nosh (snack) with them!

It was on TV. I think it was show about Jewish Traditions. I looked like a Red BBQ sause, but It may have been something else. Anyway, do you know of a website for some recipies for these thing(Pita, dips, and sauses)?

Thanks

In Christ's Love,

I love Jewish foods. Anyway, I don't have many recipes. Also, I don't have any of them with me right now. I'll have to bring some in and type them. Gotta run.

Here ya go Angels! Hope you like it. There are some things I should point out:

You should be able to get tahini (also pronounced tehina) at health food stores or any grocery store that has a kosher section. If you have a kosher grocery store in your area, you can get it there.

I also suggest adding the garlic and spices to suit your taste. Some people use more garlic other less.

HUMUS

2 cans garbanzos, drained

1/2 cup tahini

1/4 cup water

1/3 cup lemon juice

3 cloves of garlic, minced

1 teaspoon salt

2 tsp. cumin

Roasted and ground

black or red pepper, to taste

You can mash the garbanzos like you are making mashed potatoes, and then just add the other ingredients and then mix it all up. It is really easy to make. You want it to be like a bean dip. Make sure that there are no lumps.

Serve it with warm pita, and it almost makes a meal on its own!!! Mmmm, mmmm!!

I don't think it will keep for a long time, so you will want to eat it fast. It is not really all that fattening and is high in protein.

Oh, and you can also add some olive oil into it if that is something you like.

Shiloh,

I'm going to try this as soon as I have time to go the store to get the ingredients,

I never heard of tahini and don't know what it is.

Thanks for taking the time to write it all down, I will let you know how I like the taste!!

I found this recipe to make tahini:

Tahini (pronounced tah-HEE-nee) is mostly used in the Middle East. It is basically made from ground sesame seeds. Due to its nutty flavour, it is considered ideal for dishes such as hummus.

Although tahini has a fair amount of essential fatty acids and is high in calcium, it is also up there with regards of calories. Per 100 grams of tahini, you can expect upwards of 600 calories.

It is very easy to make tahini at home. All you will need are some sesame seeds and olive oil. Coat a flat baking tray with olive oil and sprinkle the seeds. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. Sesame seeds burn quickly so keep an eye on them and flip them often during the 10 minutes.

Once lightly browned, remove from oven and place them in a blender to create your tahini paste. You can add tahini to your favourite hummus, use it in a salad, spread over crackers just to name a few ideas.

I have found tahini ready-made. I have never made it myself. I like to dip pita in tahini as well. I think it stands on its own. I used to put tahini with falafels when I would stuff them insie pita halves. Very tasty, I think.
