I learned this while living in Jordan. The family I stayed with introduced me to fried cauliflower, and this was the sauce they used over the top.

Time 10m

Yield 1-1 1/2 cups about

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 -3 garlic cloves
salt
1/2 cup tahini paste (be sure to stir first if it's the type that separates)
1/4-1/2 cup cold water
2 to 3 lemons, juice of

Steps:

  • Crush the garlic in a mortar and pestle (or other if you have something you prefer that will crush it effectively into a pulp).
  • Add little bit of each the tahini, lemon juice and water alternating as you go, and stir to blend well, until it's all mixed inches.
  • It should resemble a slightly thick sauce that can be poured but not over thin to be runny.
  • Season with salt to taste.
  • Use with any vegetable you like.
  • It's traditionally used over fried cauliflower, or zucchini.
  • Some like dipping flat bread in it, and others I've seen use it as a base for another recipe, such as hummus.
  • If desired, you can add more lemon if you like it tart, or more garlic if you really like garlic as I do.
  • Most families have their own mix, so it's up to you.

This sauce is a little too spicy for my taste. I'll have to cut back on the cayenne pepper next time.

I'm allergic to sesame, so I substituted sunflower seed butter for the tahini. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out too thick. I had to add a little bit of water to thin it out.
