Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup tahini
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon garlic paste Or 1 clove of garlic
  • 3–5 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cumin

Method
 

  1. Add tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt and cumin to a small bowl.
  2. Slowly add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring well until the sauce becomes silky and smooth. Keep going until it’s as thick or pourable as you like.
  3. Taste and adjust—more lemon for tang, or more water for a more runny consistency.
  4. Use as a dip for falafel, drizzle over Hawawshi, roasted veggies, or grain bowls or spread inside wraps or sandwiches!
