Tahini & lemon sauce

This thick and creamy Greek sauce is almost like a dip - serve with slow-cooked meats, roasted vegetables, or chunks of bread for dipping

  • plus chilling, no cook
  • Serves 6
  • Easy

Ingredients

  • 4 plump garlic cloves
  • 3 tbsp tahini paste
  • juice 2 lemons, plus extra to taste
  • pinch of paprika, to garnish
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)

Method

  1. Crush the garlic with a good pinch of sea salt using a pestle and mortar or garlic press. Mix in the tahini paste with a balloon whisk.

  2. Keep whisking as you slowly mix in the lemon juice – the tahini will lighten in colour and thicken. Taste it, and if you are happy, loosen slightly with a few tsp of water. If you prefer it more tangy, beat in more lemon juice. Cover and chill for 30 mins-1 hr. When ready to serve, sprinkle with paprika and drizzle with oil, if you like.
