Tahini...think of peanut butter, only instead it is made with sesame seeds. There are 2 types of tahini. A light and dark version. The light ivory kind usually has the best flavor and texture. You should be able to find it in any grocery store in the spice section. You can always try a specialty foods store if you can't find it anywhere else.
