Servings: 24 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- juice of 2 lemons
- 1 cup ground tahini
- 1 tablespoon salt
- ½ cup - 1 cup water
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder or 3 cloves garlic minced, optional
- 1 teaspoon ground sumac optional
- ¼ cup minced parsley optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl stir together tahini paste and lemon juice. Tahini will become thick and clumpy.
- Season with salt and optional seasonings.
- While stirring constantly, pour in a little cold water and keep adding cold water, while stirring, until all lumps are gone, the sauce is smooth, and sauce is a bit runny. This might take more or less water - so keep stirring as you go and add water if needed.
- Store in airtight container for up to a week. If sauce thickens, it can be thinned with more ice cold water.
Notes
Cold water must be used - warm or lukewarm water will cause tahini to seize up and get chunky.
