Roasted Red Pepper Tahini Sauce
Description
Roasted Red Pepper Tahini Sauce blends the natural creaminess of tahini with the smoky sweetness of roasted red peppers. Garlic and lemon juice introduce an aromatic sharpness that complements the earthy tahini, while kosher salt enhances all the flavors. The food processor harmonizes these components into a smooth sauce that can be thinned out with extra water for desired consistency.
The sauce’s texture is creamy yet light, making it suitable for spreads, dips, or salad dressings. The roasted peppers provide a distinctive color and a mild smoky note that balances tahini's richness.
You can serve this sauce chilled or at room temperature alongside grilled dishes, grain bowls, or as a flavorful dip for vegetables and pita. Its balance of creamy and tangy elements adds a refreshing twist to many meals.
For a stronger roasted red pepper flavor, add an extra roasted pepper. Store the sauce in a sealed container if not using immediately.
Ingredients
- ½ cup tahini
- 3 red peppers whole, roasted
- ⅓ cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove
- kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Add to food processor. Add the tahini, roasted red peppers, water, lemon juice, garlic, and salt to a food processor.
- Blend until smooth. Blend the ingredients together in the food processor until smooth. If you'd like a thinner consistency, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more water.
- Serve or store. Use it right away or store it in a sealed container.
Notes
- Adjust the number of roasted red peppers to control the intensity of the pepper flavor.
- Add extra water by tablespoon increments to achieve your preferred sauce thickness.
