Tahini Sauce

• 1-2 garlic cloves, peeled
• ½ tsp salt
• ¾ cup tahini paste
• ½ cup fresh lime or lemon juice
• ¼ cup cold water, about
• 1 cup chopped parsley (optional)

Make a garlic paste. Using a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic cloves with the salt into a paste (or mince or finely grate the garlic and season with salt).

Add the crushed garlic, tahini paste, and lime juice to the bowl of a food processor and blend (it will be thick as it emulsifies). Add the water, a little bit at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

Transfer to a serving bowl and stir in the parsley, if using. Enjoy!
