Tahini Sauce

This is a simple sauce that is great drizzled over spicy middle eastern food, such as chicken shawarma or even just a char grilled vegetable such as courgettes.

Ingredients

• 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 3 tbsp tahini
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• a generous pinch of salt
• 6 tbsp cold water

Method

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. If it starts to look too stiff then add another tablespoon or two of cold water.
2. Cover and chill in a fridge before serving.

Makes enough for a dressing/flatbread topping for four people.
