Tahini Sauce

[Leenie]

I remember years ago eating at the Piti Inn for lunch. I had a stuffed pepper (veggie & rice inside) sliced open and heated inside a small pita loaf. They poured a tahini sauce over top and OMG was it wonderful. The tahini had a little kick to it. They are no longer there but found a recipe that looks pretty good. The rice inside the stuffed pepper was yellow / safron like.

Tahini Sauce

1 cup tahini paste
4 garlic cloves, minced
Salt to taste
juice of two lemons (6 tablespoons)
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil, if desired

Combine tahini paste, garlic, lemon juice and salt in blender or food processor. Process until smooth. Gradually blend in water for desired consistency. Mixture should be thick for a dip and thin for a topping. Turn into a small bowl. Stir in parsley. For dips, press finger in center of dip. Fill indentation with olive oil. If sauce is to be used as a topping, leave plain.

This sounds delicious! I have a big jar of tahini in my refrigerator that I used once for a recipe, and haven't used it since. I may try this. Thanks for posting.

Oh let us know how it turns out. I love sauces but can't make them for beans
