Tahini Sauce

Tahini Sauce

A creamy, versatile drizzle for grain bowls, roasted vegetables, falafel, grilled meats — practically anything.

Time: 5 minutes  ·  Yield: About 240 ml (1 cup)

Ingredients

  • 120 g (½ cup) tahini, well-stirred
  • 60 ml (¼ cup) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, finely grated
  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt
  • 60-80 ml (¼-⅓ cup) cold water

Method

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the tahini and lemon juice. It will seize up and get thick — this is normal. Keep stirring.
  2. Add the garlic and salt. Whisk in the cold water 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency. It should flow off a spoon in a slow ribbon.
  3. Taste and adjust lemon and salt.
  4. *Storage:** Refrigerator for up to 1 week. It will thicken — stir in a splash of water before using.
