Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Sesame seed butter is more commonly known as Tahini and is very good. Hopefully you will find it in a cooler. Though they may have it on the shelf but check for preservatives first. Otherwise, buy your own sesame seeds and make your own tahini fresh. Don Q. - Kelli Bever herbal remedies Thursday, January 15, 2004 8:52 PM RE: Herbal Remedies - Re: [herbal remedies] candidiasis- hummus Sounds WONDERFUL!!! I have the chickpeas already, but I have to show my ignorance and ask what "tahini" is and where I would find it in the health food store. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Your welcome Kelli, Well to be honest with you I haven't tried it yet. However, I do have the sesame seeds (organic) and the distilled water so I guess tomorrow is as good a day as any. Don Q. Will let you know what I find out. - Kelli Bever herbal remedies Thursday, January 15, 2004 9:27 PM RE: Herbal Remedies - Re: [herbal remedies] candidiasis- hummus Suggestions on making my own tahini?

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 How bad is it? They also said take Plain yogurt w/active cultures and put it directly on it! Oh no! also wear cotton under gear because the synthetics tend to make it worse. I would suggest Pau D' Arco non toxic and and should do the trick! NO CITRUS< DAIRY< RAW MUSHROOMS OR GLUTENOUS GRAINS such as oats, wheat,barley. Try brown rice and millet. Also NO ALCHOHOL I hope it gets better!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Don, This recipe is from a guy who frequents lots of vegan recipe and vegan food lists and he goes by the nick Mr Falafel ! :LOL He swears this is the best falafel recipe! Persian " " Falafel --------------------------- (Makes about 18 patties) 1 cup dried chickpeas, soaked in 5 cups of water for 25 hours 1 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup very finely minced onion 2 tablespoons very finely minced parsley 1-teaspoon ground roasted cumin seeds 1 teaspoon ground coriander 2 cloves garlic, peeled and mashed to a pulp Freshly ground pepper 1 tablespoon lemon juice a pinch (or more) of cayenne pepper Oil for frying Drain the chickpeas and put them into the container of a good processor or blender. Add the baking soda and salt. Turn the machine on and blend until you have the texture of coarse bread crumbs or fine bulgar wheat. You should NOT have a paste. Empty the chickpeas into a bowl. Add the onion, parsley, cumin, coriander, garlic, black pepper, lemon juice, and cayenne. Mix gently with a fork. Do not pat down. This mixture should be loose and crumbly. Put 2 inches of oil in a wok or other utensil for deep frying and set to a heat on a medium-low flame. You need a temperature of 350 to 375 degreesF. While the oil heats, form the first batch of patties. Using a very light touch, form patties that are about 2 1/4 inches in diameter, about 3/4 inch thick in the center and less so at the edges. Do not pat down or try to be too neat. The patties should just about hold together. Put as many patties into the hot oil as the utensil will hold in a single layer. Fry about 4 minutes or until the patties a reddish brown on both sides. Turn at least once during the frying process. When the patties are done, remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. do all of the patties this way. Serve hot, with Tahini Dipping Sauce. You may also tear open an end off a pita bread, stuff in two falafel and some shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes, and then douse the stuffing with 2 tablespoons of Tahini Sauce to make a Middle Eastern sandwich. Don't forget to add the hot chili pepper sauce or Tabasco.
