Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini paste
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1/2 cup ice water, plus more if needed
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
Directions
- Whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt and ice water. It will reach a weird, lumpy consistency in a medium bowl, but don't be afraid. Keep whisking until it smooths out and becomes light in colour (if it doesn't, it needs more ice water, so add a bit more). Tahini sauce with the perfect consistency will drip through the tines of a fork, but just barely.
- Taste for seasoning, adding more lemon juice or salt if desired. Store in a jar in the fridge for up to 1 week. TIP: If the tahini gets too thick in the refrigerator, loosen it up with water before using it. Enjoy!
