Tahini Sauce
Tahini, ground sesame paste, has been central to Middle Eastern cooking for thousands of years. Tarator, a tahini sauce, is served all over Lebanon with fish and falafel.
A nutty, lemony sesame sauce with garlic, thinned with water to a pourable cream. Drizzle on falafel, shawarma and roasted vegetables.
Ingredients
Method
Whisk the tahini and lemon juice in a bowl — it will seize and thicken at first.
Add the garlic and salt, then whisk in the cold water a little at a time until smooth, pale and pourable.
Stir in the parsley if using, and adjust the lemon and salt.
Serve with falafel, shawarma, roast cauliflower or salads. Keeps for 5 days in the fridge.
Don't panic when the tahini looks curdled when you add the lemon; it smooths out as you add the water.
