US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Combine the tahini, lemon juice, and garlic in a small bowl. Mix well.
  • Add water, one tablespoon at a time. Stir after each addition of liquid until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Taste and add additional lemon juice or a pinch of salt if desired. 

Notes

  • The best tahini is made from only sesame seeds, with no additional oil, which is sometimes used in processing. We also have a recipe for making homemade tahini.
  • For additional flavors, consider a pinch of cayenne pepper or sriracha.
