Tehina (Sesame Sauce) image

Tahina is one of my favorite foods, I use it as a salad dressing, I drag some pita through it, or spread it on bread as a great base for sandwiches. I have even been known to mix it into tuna fish salad.

Time 5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup tahini (sesame paste)
3/4 cup water, more if needed
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt, more if needed
1/4 cup strained fresh lemon juice, , or more to taste
4 cloves garlic, minced
cayenne pepper (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)

Steps:

  • If you are opening a jar of tahini, stir to blend the two layers before measuring it.
  • Stir it slowly to avoid splashing.
  • Refrigerate what’s left in the jar and it will stay blended.
  • Spoon the tahini paste into a medium bowl.
  • Slowly whisk in ¾ cup water.
  • Add the salt, lemon juice, garlic, cayenne and cumin.
  • Taste and add more salt, lemon juice and cayenne if you like.
  • If the sauce is too thick, stir in more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Serve cool or at room temperature.
  • You can make this in the blender.
  • This is quicker, but I find washing a bowl and whisk easer than washing a blender.
  • The Tupperware shaker also is a good tool, my Tupperware lady demonstrated her shaker making tehina, and I just had to have it!
