Recipe: Lemon Tahini Sauce

One of our favorite recipes from farmer-foodie Andrea Bemis' blog. Mindblowingly tasty on roasted veggies, drizzled on top of veggie soups, or used as a thick and creamy salad dressing!

  • 1 clove of garlic, minced

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (tiny tiny pinch here)

  • 1/4 cup tahini

  • 3-4 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons water + additional to thin as needed

  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Combine all the ingredients for the sauce and whisk until completely smooth and creamy. This works best with a small food processor, immersion blender, or regular blender. Taste for seasonings and adjust as needed. If the sauce is too thick add a touch more water.
