Addictive Tahini Sauce (Lebanese Tarator)
This 5-minute creamy 3 ingredient tahini sauce is the all-purpose addictive sauce you need. Use it in wraps, as a dip or a salad dressing!
Ingredients
- 2 small garlic cloves, crushed
- 1/2 cup tahini, 235 ml
- 1/4 cup lemon juice, approx. 1.5 lemons (50 ml)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, more per preference
Instructions
- Crush the 2 small garlic cloves and place it in a small bowl.
- Add the 1/2 cup tahini, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1/4 cup water to the bowl. Whisk vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce becomes light in colour and very smooth. If it dries up and feels firm, keep whisking. You may add a few tablespoons more of water as needed.
- Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, then garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
- Use high quality tahini when making this sauce, and ensure it is not bitter. You can make your own tahini if you don't have it.
- You can adjust the garlic, lemon juice and salt to your taste.
- Store it in an airtight container and in the fridge for up to a week. It will thicken in the fridge, you can simply add a few tablespoons of water and whisk to loosen it before using.
