This authentic tahini sauce is the best I’ve tasted (after many travels to the Middle East) and it’s easy to make with only a handful of ingredients. Just whisk together tahini, water, lemon juice, garlic, salt and cumin and drizzle it on falafels, kabobs and roasted vegetables. The best tahini sauce is creamy, tangy, garlicky, nutty and easy to make. While you can easily make variations on this sauce (which I’ll explain below) you can’t beat this classic, every day version.
Ingredients
1/2 cup tahini
1/4 cup water, or more for a thinner consistency
1/4 cup lemon juice, from about 2 freshly squeezed lemons
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp cumin
Method
* Add all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl.
* Whisk everything together until it's creamy. It may look a bit separated at first, but keep whisking until it's creamy.
* Alternatively, you could add all of the ingredients to a food processor and blend together.
* Taste and adjust any flavors as desired.
* Use immediately or store in an air-tight storage container for up to two weeks in the fridge.
