It makes about 2 cups
Serve this with hot, quartered pita bread or use in preparing Hommos bi Tahini and Baba Ghanouj.
• 1 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
• 3 large cloves garlic, crushed or finely minced
• ½ cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp. salt
• ½ cup cold water
1. Stir the tahini and the garlic together in a deep bowl.
2. Beat in the lemon juice, salt, and water. If the sauce is much thicker in consistency than mayonnaise, beat in a little more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it does resemble a rather solid mayonnaise.
3. Add more salt or garlic, if desired.
