Tahini sauce, is made out of sesame seeds. Its a traditional dip, that you will find  in all Eastern countries. We serve it as a sauce in salads, with kebabs in pitta bread or even as a dip with any grill meats, halloumi cheese , grill sausages, chops e.t.c.

What we need:

1 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)

1 tsp crushed garlic                                                                                  

1 tsp of salt ( or more )

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup of worm water                                                                                                  Sesame seeds

1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice                                                                                                                                                                   Sesame  Plant

Add all the ingredients ( except the oil ) in your mixer and blend well.

Remove from the mixer into a bowl and if sauce is very thick you can add some more worm water, add the olive oil mix and your Tahini dip is ready.

You can keep in the fridge for at least 1- 1,½  weeks.
