Garlic Tahini Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic clove to a purée with a generous pinch of salt.
• Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the sesame tahini. Whisk in the lemon juice, beginning with the smaller amount. The mixture will stiffen up.
• Gradually whisk in up to 1/3 cup water, until the sauce has the consistency of thick cream or runny yogurt. Taste and adjust salt. Sprinkle in pepper.

Steps:

• Make the Creamy Tahini Sauce:
• Sprinkle garlic with salt on a cutting board, then use the side of a knife to smash into a paste. Transfer to a large bowl. Add tahini and 1 cup warm water. Whisk until smooth. Add parsley, lemon juice, oil, and cayenne and whisk to combine.
• For the Creamy Tahini Dip with Avocado:
• Combine avocado, yogurt, lemon juice, salt, cumin, and 1/2 cup Creamy Tahini Sauce in a large bowl, then mash with a fork until smooth. For a smoother texture, purée in a blender.
• For the Creamy Tahini Dressing with Cucumber and Dill:
• Purée cucumber, buttermilk, sour cream, lemon juice, salt, and 1/2 cup Creamy Tahini Sauce in a blender until smooth. Add dill and pulse a few more times to combine.
• Do Ahead
• Creamy Tahini Sauce can be stored in an airtight container and chilled for up to 7 days.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the tahini, garlic, lemon juice and salt and process on low speed for 2 minutes or until thoroughly incorporated. Turn the speed to high and blend until the tahini mixture begins to whiten. Gradually add up to 1/2 cup water until the mixture reaches the desired consistency.
• Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and garnish with the parsley. Leftover tahini sauce can be stored, tightly covered in the refrigerator, for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Crush the garlic in a mortar and pestle (or other if you have something you prefer that will crush it effectively into a pulp).
• Add little bit of each the tahini, lemon juice and water alternating as you go, and stir to blend well, until it's all mixed inches.
• It should resemble a slightly thick sauce that can be poured but not over thin to be runny.
• Season with salt to taste.
• Use with any vegetable you like.
• It's traditionally used over fried cauliflower, or zucchini.
• Some like dipping flat bread in it, and others I've seen use it as a base for another recipe, such as hummus.
• If desired, you can add more lemon if you like it tart, or more garlic if you really like garlic as I do.
• Most families have their own mix, so it's up to you.

Steps:

• Whisk yogurt and tahini together in a bowl until well blended. Add garlic, parsley, lemon juice, and salt; mix well. If not using immediately, place in a sealed container and refrigerate until use.
