Sesame
Sesame recipes have a long and storied history that can be traced back to ancient times. One of the earliest known recipes is for a simple sesame paste that was used as a condiment or dipping sauce. This paste was made by grinding sesame seeds into a fine powder and mixing it with water.
Other early recipes include sesame-flavored cakes and cookies. These were popular in China and Japan and were often made with brown sugar and molasses. In the West, sesame seeds were used in breads and pastries. They were also used to flavor savory dishes such as stews and casseroles.
Today, sesame seeds are used in a wide variety of recipes from all over the world. They can be used whole, ground into a powder, or roasted and toasted for added flavor. They are a common ingredient in Asian cuisine, appearing in dishes such as stir-fries, noodles, and rice. They are also used in Middle Eastern and North African dishes such as hummus, tahini, and halva.
