60 ml Fresh lemon juice(Approximately 2-3 medium lemons. Ensure it's fresh for optimal brightness.)
3 cloves Garlic(Peeled and minced or finely grated. Adjust to your preference.)
1/4 cup Fresh parsley(Finely chopped, leaves and tender stems. Reserve some for garnish.)
1 tsp Ground cumin(Adds a warm, earthy flavor.)

👨‍🍳 步驟

1
In a medium bowl, combine the tahini and fresh lemon juice. Whisk vigorously. The mixture will seize up and become thick and paste-like. This is normal.
⏱️ 2 minutes
2
Gradually add the cold water, about 1/4 cup (60ml) at a time, while whisking continuously. The tahini mixture will start to lighten in color and become smoother. Continue adding water until you reach a creamy, pourable consistency, similar to heavy cream. You may not need all the water, or you might need a little more.
⏱️ 5 minutes
3
Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, and salt to the bowl. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice as desired.
⏱️ 3 minutes
4
Gently fold in the finely chopped parsley, reserving a small amount for garnish. Stir just enough to distribute it throughout the sauce.
⏱️ 2 minutes
5
Transfer the Salatet Tahini to a serving dish. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil (optional) and sprinkle with the reserved chopped parsley. Serve immediately with pita bread, falafel, grilled meats, or as a dip for vegetables.

💡 專業提示

✓The key to a smooth tahini sauce is to add the water gradually while whisking constantly. Cold water helps create a stable emulsion.
✓For a richer flavor, you can toast the cumin seeds lightly before grinding them.
✓Adjust the amount of garlic and lemon juice to suit your personal taste. Some prefer it more garlicky or tangier.
✓The consistency can be adjusted by adding more water for a thinner sauce or less for a thicker dip.
