10 Condiments You Should Stock in Your Pantry

Nut butters, especially tahini and peanut butter, should be pantry staples. Tahini is a paste made from sesame seeds, and it's what gives hummus its toasted flavor. Add a teaspoon or two to thicken salad dressings, use it in homemade hummus, or spread it on toast as a peanut butter substitute. Beyond being a lunch staple, peanut butter is great in Asian stir-fry sauces and Thai red curry.
