• servings: 12 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

1-2 garlic cloves

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup tahini paste

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (or lemon juice, if you prefer)

1/4 cup cold water, more if needed

1 cup fresh chopped parsley leaves, stems removed first (optional)

Directions

Using a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic cloves with the salt into a paste (or mince the garlic and season with salt.)

Add the crushed garlic, tahini paste and lime juice to the bowl of a food processor and blend (it will be thick as it emulsifies.) Add a little bit of water and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.

Transfer the tahini to a serving bowl, and if you like stir in fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!
