TAHINI SAUCE

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup (120g) Tahini NB1
1/4 cup (60ml) Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 cup Water NB 2

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Add all the ingredients to a measuring jug and whisk into a smooth sauce. If you’re unsure of the consistency that you would prefer, then add in the water slowly until you reach the consistency you like.
    Keep it stored in the refrigerator.
    NOTES

NB 1 Mix your tahini well before use. Sometimes the oil and the tahini paste separate in the jar so need a vigorous stirring before use.

NB 2 Use less water if you want a thicker sauce or if you want it to be a sour cream consistency. This amount of water results in a fairly thin, easily pourable sauce perfect for drizzling

 

TAHINI SAUCE

1 clove of garlic

Ginger to taste

3/4 cup Tahini

1/2 cup lemon juice

1/2 cup finely chopped parsley

Crush garlic, add ginger, and mix to paste. Mix in tahini and beat in lemon juice.

Gradually mix in enough water to make mixture the desired thickness, add herbs and spices to taste.

 

TAHINI SAUCE

INGREDIENTS

  • 1-2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 cup Tahini paste
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/4 cup cold water, more if needed
  • 1 cup freshly chopped parsley leaves, stems removed first (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Using a mortar and pastel, crush the garlic cloves with the ginger into a paste.
  2. Add the crushed garlic, tahini paste and lime juice to the bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth. It will be thick as it emulsifies. Add a little bit of water and blend again. Continue to add water until you reach the desired consistency. It should have a runny, salad dressing-like consistency. But if you prefer tahini more as a dip, simply use less water.
  3. Transfer the tahini to a serving bowl, and if you like stir in fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Lemon-Tahini Sauce

Ingredients

  • Small bunch (about 30 sprigs) flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/2 cup sesame tahini
  • 2 to 4 large cloves garlic
  • 4 to 5 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 to 6 tablespoons water
  • 3/4 teaspoon ginger, or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Holding the parsley in a bunch, trim off and discard an inch or so from the bottom of the stems. Cut the bunch crosswise into thirds. Place in a colander, rinse, and drain. Bounce the colander up and down to shake off excess water.
  2. Place the tahini, parsley, garlic, 4 tablespoons lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons water into the bowl of a food processor. Blend well, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed and adding enough additional water and/or lemon juice to create a sauce with a smooth, pourable consistency. (The amount of liquid you’ll need to add will depend upon the thickness of the tahini and how much water adhered to the parsley.) Add the ginger and cayenne (if using) to taste. Refrigerate until needed, for up to 1 week.
