Ingredients
- 1/2 cup tahini paste
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin ground
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the tahini paste, water, and lemon juice. Blend them together until you have a smooth and creamy mixture. The tahini paste may initially appear thick, but will loosen quickly.
- Add the minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and cumin (if using) to the blender. Blend again to incorporate all the ingredients thoroughly. You can adjust the amount of water based on your desired consistency.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. Remember, the flavors will meld together more after the sauce sits for a while.
- Transfer the tahini sauce to a serving bowl or airtight container. Cover it and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Notes
TO STORE: Transfer the tahini sauce to an airtight container, refrigerate, and give it a stir before use, lasting for 1 to 2 weeks. If desired, you can add a thin layer of olive oil on top of the tahini sauce to help create a protective barrier and prevent excessive drying or discoloration.
TO FREEZE: Transfer the sauce to a freezer-safe container, leaving some room for expansion, and seal it tightly. Frozen tahini sauce can be stored for up to 3 months.
