β€’ 1 cup of Beautiful Middle East tahini

β€’1/2 to 1 cup cold water (adjust for desired consistency)

  • Initial mixing: Pour the raw tahini into a bowl.

  • Season: Add the lemon juice, garlic, and salt.

  • Taste and adjust: Taste and tweak to perfection – add more lemon, salt, or water until you achieve the ideal flavor and consistency.

  • Perfect texture: Using very cold water or ice-cold water helps create a light, creamy, and bright tahini sauce.

  • Green Tahini: Add a generous handful of chopped parsley, or blend everything in a food processor for a smooth, vibrant green sauce.

  • Deeper flavor: A pinch of cumin or paprika adds extra depth, flavor, and color.
