INSTRUCTIONS

1. Using a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic cloves with the salt into a paste (or mince
the garlic and season with salt.)
2. Add the crushed garlic, tahini paste and lime juice to the bowl of a food processor and
blend (it will be thick as it emulsifies.) Add a little bit of water and blend again until you
reach the desired consistency.
3. Transfer the tahini to a serving bowl, and if you like stir in fresh chopped parsley.
Enjoy!

NOTES

Cook's Tip: Use only a little bit of water at a time until you reach your desired
consistency. Generally, tahini sauce should have a runny, salad dressing-like
consistency. But, if you prefer tahini more as a dip, simply use less water.
Cook's Tip: Double this recipe if you're serving a large number of people, it will be
consumed fast!
Make Ahead Tip: You can make this tahini sauce ahead of time, refrigerate in a
tight-lid container for 2 to 3 days.
