Caroline is right - start with a tbsp of the sesame oil and go from there - it's intense. We did find just the one tablespoon was plenty. That being said, this is a really unique, rich, yummy dip for artichokes. Kind of reminiscent of a tahini, only richer. Would be great with shrimp and falafels, too! Thanks Caroline - a keeper!!
