basic tahini sauce
This whole foods based thaini sauce is a flavourful creamy dip.
Equipment
- Hand Blender (a whisk does the trick too, if you are patient enough)
Ingredients
- 15 g garlic minced or pressed
- 120 g tahini white
- 60 ml lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tsp cumin
- 80 ml water
Instructions
- If you have a hand blender, use a tall measuring cup to have a good blend. If you whisk, a deep round bowl is your friend.
- Add all ingredients except the water to the container of choice and start mixing. Carefully add the water bit by bit until you have the desired consistency.
- If you're not using the sauce right away, I recommend covering it and to store it in the fridge until needed.
- From here, you can bend this sauce into many different styles. Try adding some sweetness from fruit or jams. Make a sauce with a different base, like peanut. Give it some beet root for both color and earthy aromas. The possibilities are infinite.
