Ingredients
Basic Tahini Sauce
- ½ cup tahini*
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons water plus more as needed
- 1 small garlic clove grated or pressed
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- maple syrup or honey as needed
- extra-virgin olive oil as needed
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic, and salt. Season to taste. If you find the tahini sauce too bitter, add ¼ to ½ teaspoon maple syrup or honey to balance the flavor. If it’s too sharp, add ½ to 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil to mellow the flavor. If it's too thick, add water, as needed, to reach your desired consistency.See the blog post about for the turmeric, beet, and green tahini sauce variations.
Notes
- *I prefer these brands of tahini: Cedar’s, Seed + Mill, and Soom.
