TAHINI SAUCE

Tahini and hummus are a huge staple of my husband's diet. I made a large batch of roasted sweet potatoes and thought a tahini sauce would be a perfect, creamy dressing. I bought organic tahini (ingredients: ground sesame seeds) and mixed it with spices, seeds and lemon to make it a perfect accompaniment to the potatoes. It compliments meats, fish and other vegetables. Tahini should be a thick consistency, resembling that of honey. To make it a bit easier to spread on the vegetables, I added a bit of water and whisked it. 

Husband approved. 

Ingredients:

3/4 cup tahini paste

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1/2 tsp ground garlic powder

1/2 tsp ground paprika

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp ground pepper

1/2 tsp cumin

2 tbsp water

1 tsp sesame seeds

1 bunch of chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

In a bowl, mix the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, sea salt, pepper, paprika, cumin and water. Whisk until creamy. If the paste is too thick, add more water. This will keep fresh in the fridge for a few days.
