Servings: 1 16 oz. jar
Calories: 204kcal
Ingredients
- ⅔ cups tahini paste
- ½ cup warm water
- ⅓ cup lemon juice
- 2 T. olive oil
- 2 T. sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- ¾ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2 T. chopped Italian parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Start by adding tahini paste, water, and lemon juice to a jar. Whisk to combine.
- Whisk in both oils, garlic, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Taste and adjust, as necessary.
- To thin the sauce, increase the amount of water to get the consistency you prefer.
- Refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
- Stirring in a few tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley is a great way to compliment Tahini Sauce.
- I also like to substitute half of the olive oil with sesame seed oil. This really enhances the sesame seed flavor, which I absolutely love!
- Tahini Sauce needs to be refrigerated and used within a week or so.
