Rich tasting and creamy, this Middle East-inspired sauce works
well over vegetables from asparagus to zucchini. It can also be used as a topping over
stir-fried veggies and pasta or rice for a true ethnic fusion meal.
Ingredients
1/4 cup (60g) tahini (sesame butter)
1/2 cup (120mL) water
1 tsp (5mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice
Dash salt
2 cloves garlic, minced (more to taste)
Directions
Mix all ingredients well. Tahini may be solid and take some time to
become mixed with water. Add more water if a thinner sauce is desired.
Serve at room temperature over vegetables, rice or pasta.
Makes about 1 cup (240mL) sauce or about 4 servings.
