Tahini Sauce

• 100g good-quality tahini
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 garlic clove, grated
• 4–6 tbsp cold water
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• Salt
• Parsley and paprika to garnish

Instructions

1. 1

   Whisk tahini with lemon juice — it will seize up and become thick. This is normal.

2. 2

   Add garlic and cumin.

3. 3

   Add cold water a tablespoon at a time, whisking until smooth and pourable.

4. 4

   Season with salt. Taste — it should be nutty, tangy, and slightly garlicky.

5. 5

   Adjust consistency with more water if needed.

6. 6

   Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika and parsley to serve.
