What to do with tahini?
I recently blended up a batch of homemade hummus for which I bought a large container of tahini, and now I'm at a loss for what to do with the rest...

It's great in salad dressings - with lemon and olive oil.

an asian sesame sauce would be a good use for it.

mix with miso and mirin (sweet sherry may work), smear on cubed tofu and bake.
mix with mayo and miso for a vegetable dip.
mix with housin sauce for summer roll dip.

You can make Ina's Szechuan Noodles. They're great as a lighter summer meal and you can add whatever veggies you have in the fridge.

I made this a few weeks ago after I had a large amount of tahini leftover. It was really good, I served it with buttered noodles and put some of the sauce over the pasta as well.

Artisan bread - toasted, spread with tahini and honey - topped with sliced banana. SO divine!!!

how long will Tahini keep in the refrigerator after you open it?

This is probably bad advice, but I had a jar of tahini, opened, in my fridge for half a year and it was fine. I just threw it out recently because I used it up, but I never suffered any ill conditions as a result of eating it.

I'm with jobeth above--though i also love all the savory options. Tahini is just plain great stuff.
