Tahini & lemon sauce
- Preparation and cooking time
- Prep:
- plus chilling, no cook
- Easy
- Serves 6
Ingredients
- 1-2 plump garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp tahini paste
- 1 lemon, juiced, plus extra to taste
- pinch of paprika, to garnish
- 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
Method
- STEP 1
Crush the garlic with a good pinch of sea salt using a pestle and mortar or garlic press. Mix in the tahini paste with a balloon whisk.
- STEP 2
Keep whisking as you slowly mix in the lemon juice – the tahini will lighten in colour and thicken. Taste it and, if you are happy, loosen slightly with a few tsp of water. If you prefer it more tangy, beat in more lemon juice. Cover and chill for 30 mins-1 hr. When ready to serve, sprinkle with paprika and drizzle with oil, if you like.
