Ingredients

Step-by-Step Method

  1. Whisk the base. Whisk tahini, lemon juice and salt. It will seize and thicken — keep whisking.
  2. Loosen it. Add water a spoon at a time, whisking, until it turns pale and pourable.
  3. Finish & store. Stir in crushed garlic and cumin. Great for falafel, bowls and roasted veggies. Keeps 1 week refrigerated.
Chef AK's Tip: Ice-cold water makes tahini sauce extra pale and fluffy.
