Herb Tahini Sauce
Report
How to make creamy herb tahini sauce paired with fresh parsley and dill, roasted garlic, lemon and lime juice for a unique and healthy vegan condiment.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini sesame seed paste - I prefer the paste made from light colored seeds
- 3/4 cup lukewarm water, use more or less for desired consistency
- 5 cloves roasted garlic
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, or more to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, or more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt, or more to taste
Instructions
- Combine tahini paste, lukewarm water, roasted garlic, parsley, dill, lemon juice, lime juice and salt together in a food processor.
- Blend or process, scraping sides periodically, until sauce is creamy and well blended. If using a blender, you may need to pause blending and use a long-handled spoon or spatula to break up the thick part of the sauce once every 20-30 seconds; this will keep it from clogging your blender blades.After a few minutes of blending, sauce will turn into a rich, smooth paste. If mixture is too thick, slowly add more water until it reaches the preferred consistency. You may need quite a bit of water depending on the thickness of your tahini paste. Or you may choose to keep the sauce quite thick, rich and whipped. It's totally a preference thing.
- If using tahini to top hummus or a meat dish, keep it thick and creamy. As a condiment for pita or falafel, a more liquid sauce is usually preferred. Taste often during the blending process; add more lemon juice or salt, if desired.
Notes
- You will also need: blender or food processor
