A creamy, nourishing sauce made by whisking tahini with lemon, garlic and water. This vegan Middle Eastern classic is a quick accompaniment to falafel, fried vegetables and salads.
Whisk the tahini, lemon juice, crushed garlic and salt together in a bowl; the mixture will thicken at first.
Add the water a little at a time, whisking after each addition, until smooth and pourable. Add it spoonful by spoonful rather than all at once.
Stir in the optional cumin. The sauce is ready to serve with falafel, vegetables or salads.
Tahini will thicken and clump at first when you add water; keep whisking and add the water gradually until the sauce becomes smooth and pourable. Adjust the lemon to taste. Contains sesame (tahini).
