Tahini Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic – finely grated
• 0.5 tsp kosher salt
• 0.25 cup lemon juice – freshly squeezed
• 0.75 cup tahini
• 0.5 cup water – ice-cold
• parsley – chopped (for serving)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, mash the garlic with the kosher salt to a smooth paste.
2. Add the lemon juice and tahini and whisk until the mixture seizes and thickens.
3. Gradually whisk in the water, a tablespoon at a time, until the sauce turns pale, smooth, and spoonable.
4. Let stand 5 minutes to settle; whisk again briefly. If you prefer a milder bite, strain out any garlic solids before serving.
5. Serve at room temperature; top with parsley if desired. Refrigerate airtight up to 5 days, whisking before use.
