This recipe requires 1/2 cup of jarred tahini, so you won't use it all. Of course you can use up tahini making hummus, but it's also an excellent substitute for nut butters, sour cream or yogurt. It can also be incorporated into marinades, homemade or store-bought caramel sauce for desserts and used to replace some of the butter in Oatmeal Chocolate Chips Cookie<\/a> batter for a nuttier flavor.<\/p>"
