Tahini Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup tahini paste
- 1/2 cup lime juice freshly squeezed, or lemon juice, if you prefer
- 1/4 cup cold water more if needed
- 1 cup parsley leaves fresh, chopped, stems removed first optional
Instructions
- Using a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic cloves with the salt into a paste (or mince the garlic and season with salt.)
- Add the crushed garlic, tahini paste, and lime juice to the bowl of a food processor and blend (it will be thick as it emulsifies.) Add a little bit of water and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
- Transfer the tahini to a serving bowl, and if you like stir in fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!
