Ingredients
- 2 tbsp tahini organic, stone-ground, high quality
- 1 clove garlic
- 1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice add more if you like it a bit more sour
- salt & pepper
- water
Instructions
- Place the tahini in a bowl.
- Squeeze the fresh lemon juice and add it to the tahini.
- Crush the garlic in a garlic-press and add to the bowl with the tahini and lemon juice.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix with a spoon.
- The tahini will start to harden and become quite stiff once you mix it with the lemon. That's totally normal so don't freak out!
- Start adding water, tablespoon by tablespoon. Mix each time after you add water. Slowly you'll see that the tahini starts to loosen up and become more liquid. Mix well, making sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl. Add enough water until the sauce is smooth and creamy, and the texture is similar to a vinaigrette. You can also add less water if you prefer it to be thicker, or more water if you like it thinner. I can't give you an exact amount of water because it depends on the type of tahini you have and how thin or thick you want the sauce to be.
Notes
Store the sauce in a jar with a lid, in the fridge, for 7-10 days. Make sure to take it out of the fridge a few minutes before using so that the tahini has time to warm up to room temperature. You can also add a bit more water if you think that it needs to be more liquid.
