Tahini Sauce
Tahini paste might just be one of my favourite ingredients to cook with. Tahini paste is simply ground sesame seeds, and can now be found in pretty well any grocery store you visit. A traditional Middle Eastern and Mediterranean ingredient, it’s used to make hummus, baba ghanoush, and many other delicious dishes from that part of the world.
This sauce, or spread, is perfect to keep in the fridge at all times; great with raw or cooked vegetables, a piece of pita or warm flatbread. What is also really fun about it is that you can get creative with this sauce. Below I will show you a basic recipe as well as a few easy variations that add even more flavour and colour. This is a fun recipe that’s also very healthy – hope you enjoy it!
Ingredients:
- 1¼ cups tahini paste (You wil need to stir the paste well before taking it from its bottle)
- 4 garlic cloves
- ¾ cup cold water
- 1½ tsp salt
- Juice of 2 lemons
Instructions:
- In a blender add tahini paste, salt, lemon juice, and garlic. Blend to chop garlic. Turn speed to high and slowly stream in cold water. You want the sauce to be loose, so you may need to add in a little bit more water if the sauce remains thick.
- See above for variations on this amazing sauce.
- Serve with pita, vegetables, meat.
