Its birthplace is often attributed to the Middle East, where sesame seeds have been cultivated since the Bronze Age. Historical records suggest tahini was a culinary staple in civilisations like the Babylonians and Assyrians. It played a prominent role in the diets of ancient Egyptians and Persians, who recognised its nutritional value.<\/p>\n<p>With the spread of trade and cuisine, tahini found its way into Mediterranean and North African cuisines, contributing to dishes like hummus and baba ganoush. Today, tahini remains a fundamental ingredient in Middle Eastern cuisines, while continuing to influence palates everywhere.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cooked-recipe-ingredients\">\n<h3 class=\"cooked-single-ingredient cooked-heading\" style=\"text-transform: capitalize;\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>1 cauliflower head, broken into florets<\/li>\n<li>Olive oil<\/li>\n<li>500 grams of chicken tenderloins<\/li>\n<li>Juice of half a lemon<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd teaspoon of paprika<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons of chopped flat-leaf parsley<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons of toasted slivered almonds<\/li>\n<li>Monjay\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/mjmezza.com.au\/gourmet-dips\/tahini-dip\/\">Tahini Dip<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cooked-recipe-ingredients\">\n<h2 style=\"text-transform: capitalize;\">Method<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cooked-recipe-directions\">\n<div class=\"cooked-single-direction cooked-direction cooked-direction-has-number\" data-step=\"Step 1\">\n<div class=\"cooked-dir-content\">\n<p>Heat the oven to 200\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>Toss the cauliflower florets with two tablespoons of olive oil, season well, and then place on a baking tray and roast for twenty minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Place the chicken in a large bowl and add two tablespoons of olive oil, the lemon juice, paprika and parsley.
