How to Use Gomasio in Cooking
Sprinkle a small amount onto your dish, preferably after it’s been prepared. Stir it in whenever possible and taste before adding more.
Gomasio already contains salt: keep this in mind if you’ve salted the cooking water or used other salty ingredients.
Rice and Grains
Add it to boiled rice, couscous, or spelt and barley salads. It’s particularly handy for rounding out a bowl of grains with vegetables and legumes.
Cooked and Raw
Vegetables Try it on steamed broccoli, sautéed zucchini, baked potatoes, or mixed salads. Added just before serving, it makes it easy to adjust the seasoning.
Legumes and Vegetable
Purées You can sprinkle it over chickpeas and lentils or use it to finish a bean purée. Start with just a little, especially if the dish already contains salt.
Soups and pureed soups
A small amount sprinkled over a serving just before serving adds a hint of toasted sesame. It pairs well, for example, with pureed pumpkin, carrot, or potato soups.
