Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- ½ cup tahini
- ½ cup water
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Combine Tahini and Water: Slowly add water to the tahini while whisking continuously. The mixture will initially seize up and thicken, but continue whisking and adding water until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add Flavorings: Once the desired consistency is reached, stir in the fresh lemon juice, grated garlic, kosher salt, and cumin to the sauce. Mix well to incorporate all the flavors evenly.
- Sweeten the Sauce: Add the honey to the mixture and whisk thoroughly until the sauce is well combined, creamy, and balanced between nutty, tart, and sweet notes.
Notes
- If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- For a smoother garlic flavor, you can mince the garlic finely instead of grating.
- This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir well before using.
- Adjust the honey amount to your preferred level of sweetness or substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option.
