Tahini is made from ground sesame seeds and has an almond butter consistency. It’s great eaten straight from the jar – aren’t all spreadable fats? – but also makes a great dressing. The dressing can be used on salads, poured over eggs, as a marinade for meats, or tossed with veggies.
Tahini Dressing:
- 1/3 cup tahini
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- dash of sea salt and pepper
Or – to make a quick single serving on the fly:
- 1 Tbl tahini
- 1 Tbl water
- 1 tsp lemon (if you have it)
- dash of sea salt and pepper
Mix the ingredients into a consistency slightly thinner than olive oil. Use the water to perfect the consistency. Stores well for use later.
Joyva tahini comes in a cool metal container.
