HOW TO MAKE TAHINI #homemaderecipe #tahinisauce #tahinirecipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup tahini (well-stirred if it’s separated in the jar)
• 1–2 cloves garlic, minced (optional, adjust to taste)
• 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed, about 1 large lemon)
• 1/4 cup water, or more as needed to thin
• 1–2 tablespoons olive oil (optional for added richness)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• Pinch of ground cumin (optional, for extra flavor)
• Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Combine Tahini and Lemon Juice: In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini and lemon juice until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.
2. Add Garlic and Salt: Stir in the minced garlic and salt. Whisk well to incorporate.
3. Add Water Gradually: Slowly add the water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously until you reach your desired consistency. For a thick dip, use less water; for a pourable dressing, add more water until it’s smooth and pourable.
4. Season: Add a pinch of ground cumin for extra depth, if desired. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
5. Serve or Store: Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Tips:

• Adjust Consistency: Tahini sauce thickens as it sits, so you may need to add a little water and whisk again before using leftovers.
• Serving Ideas: Drizzle over salads, grain bowls, roasted vegetables, or use as a dip for pita, falafel, or fresh veggies.
