TAHINI DRESSING



Tahini Dressing image

The potent combination of tahini, garlic and lemon that is so beloved throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East also makes a fantastic salad dressing when sweetened with a touch of honey. But no need to stop there - the creamy dressing is also delicious on grilled fish, roast chicken, steamed vegetables, grain bowls and more. There may be a point when you're whisking in the tahini that the sauce seems to seize or thicken. Don't worry - it will smooth out again once you begin to whisk in the water.

TAHINI-GLAZED CARROTS



Tahini-Glazed Carrots image

A little sweet from date syrup, creamy from tahini and very tangy from plenty of lemon juice, this roasted carrot dish - adapted from Adeena Sussman's cookbook "Sababa" - has charisma to spare. It's also extremely easy to make. While the carrots roast with olive oil and cumin, all you do is whisk together a simple glaze from pantry ingredients. If you don't have the date syrup on hand, maple syrup works just as well, making the dish slightly sweeter but no less compelling.

Categories     dinner, easy, vegetables, side dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds slender carrots (or thick carrots, halved lengthwise), peeled
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup tahini
3 to 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, to taste
3 tablespoons silan (date syrup), or maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Place carrots on a large rimmed baking sheet and toss with the oil, salt and cumin. Roast carrots for 15 minutes, then turn them and continue roasting until they are golden at the edges and tender, 12 to 15 minutes longer.
  • While the carrots are roasting, make the tahini glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, tahini, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, silan, cayenne, salt and 1 tablespoon water until smooth. Whisk in 1 to 2 more tablespoons water until you have a thick but pourable sauce. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice, or both, if you like.
  • Transfer the carrots to a platter and drizzle with the tahini glaze, tossing the carrots to coat.
