Equipment
- Bowl
- Whisk
- Immersion blender or blender, optional
Ingredients
- ½ cup tahini (112g)
- ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice (80mL)
- ¼ cup water (60mL)
- 2 small garlic cloves grated
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic, and salt. (The tahini will seize up into a thick paste when the liquid is first added, before becoming smooth and silky when fully combined.)
- Adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding more water as needed. Adjust the flavor by adding more lemon juice or salt.
Notes
- If the sauce is too tangy or sharp tasting, add an additional pinch of salt or a teaspoon of olive oil.
- If the sauce is bitter tasting, add ½ teaspoon of maple syrup or honey.
- If the sauce is too thick, add more water, a teaspoon at a time, until it has reached your desired consistency.
- This recipe makes about 1¼ cups of tahini sauce (3 to 4 tablespoons per serving).
