Tahini Sauce

Tahini Sauce (Chef Kamal Al-Faqih)

Tahini is made from ground sesame seeds. When using tahini, be sure to mix it well in the jar before using, the paste tends to separate from the oil.
This sauce is often served with fish, but can be used as a dip for fried cauliflower.

Ingredients

1 large clove garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup tahini (mix well in the jar before using)
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley

Directions

Mash the garlic and salt to a pulp, using a pestle. Add 1/2 cup tahini, 1/3 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup water and mix well until it is creamy. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
With a spoon, mix in 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley, using just the leaves and tender stems.
You can refrigerate this sauce until you need it, although it can thicken in the fridge, If this occurs, thin the sauce with lemon juice or water.
