This is a classic rookie move, and usually a recipe for disaster, pun intended. If you�re going to significantly increase the amount of an ingredient, you can�t just dump it all in and cross your fingers. You have to add it little by little, tasting as you go, otherwise you�ll end up like me; the proud owner of a perfectly fine garlic sauce.
There�s nothing wrong with garlic sauce, unless you really wanted tahini sauce. The good news is, my mistake shouldn�t affect you in the least. The technique is very simple, and every ingredient is �to taste.� So, please use the ingredient amounts below as a guide, and then add more of whatever until you have it exactly how you want it.
Once you get the formula down, you�ll be enjoying one of the world�s great cold sauces. Perfect with everything from steamed vegetables to grilled meats, and of course, homemade falafel. So, stay tuned for that, and in the meantime, I hope you get this delicious tahini sauce a try soon. Enjoy!
Ingredients for about 1 cup of tahini sauce:
1/2 cup tahini (pure sesame seed paste)
1 clove finely crushed garlic (I used 4 cloves in the video, but you probably shouldn�t)
pinch of salt
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil, optional (most classic recipes do not include)
enough warm water to achieve the desired consistency (this sauce is usually very thin)
