RECIPE

Nutty tahina and date granola

I received some delicious Israeli tahina and silan, which inspired this recipe for a Tu Bishvat breakfast

Tahina and silan are from Sesame Kitchen.

  • Preheat the oven to 150°C  (130°C fan) and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
  • In a large bowl, combine the oats, nuts and seeds. 
  • In a measuring jug, whisk together the tahini, date honey, oil and cinnamon. 
  • Pour over the oat mixture and stir until all the dry ingredients are lightly coated.
  • Beat the egg white with a fork until fluffy and mix through the granola, then tip onto the baking sheet. Press down slightly to help it form crunchy clusters. 
  • Bake for 20 minutes then take it out and give it a gentle stir. Return to the oven and bake until golden brown, about 10 – 20 more minutes. The time it takes depends on your oven to some extent, so keep an eye on it and check it every so often. 
  • Leave it to cool on the baking sheet, then, pour into a container and mix in the dried fruits. 
  • Store in an airtight container — it will keep up to a month. Whether it lasts that long is another matter...
