Tahini is a classic sauce in many Middle Eastern homes. It is made up of crushed sesame seeds to give it a really nutty and delicious taste.
While you can easily make regular tahini out of the paste, why not take it a step further and make green tahini! This sauce is still very traditional in Middle Eastern homes, and some might say is even yummier than the original. It’s definitely healthier with the addition of the all the herbs, and looks really impressive on meat and veggies!
Recipe
- In a food processor or high-speed blender, toss in 1 cup of parsley, 3 scallions, and a tablespoon of dill.
- Pulse these a few times before you add in the rest of the ingredients, so they can get chopped up evenly.
- Once they’re diced, add in 1 cup of raw tahini, 1/4 cup of lemon or lime juice, salt, pepper, and a pinch of cumin.
- Start running the motor of the machine and see how the consistency is. If the tahini is too thick, slowly add in water to thin it out.
- Once it’s a little runnier, pour it into a bowl to serve or pour straight on top of your main course and enjoy!
