Ingredients

  • ½ cup tahini paste
  • ¼ cup warm water more or less depending on the consistency you like.
  • cup freshly squeezed lemon
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon coriander
  • 1 Tablespoon cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a mini food processor add all the ingredients.
  • Pulse until everything is mixed well and cilantro is finely chopped.
  • Taste to adjust seasoning.

Notes

  • It helps to add water and lemon juice to the food processor before adding the tahini so it does not get stuck to the bottom of the bowl.
  • For a thicker consistency start by 2 Tablespoons of water and add little by little until you reach your desired consistency.
  • If you end up with a thinner consistency than you would like to add a little but more tahini paste.
  • I’ve doubled the cilantro as this is how we like it, so feel free to double or even triple.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container/jar for a week in the refrigerator.
  • Variations: Make it your own and use your favorite fresh herbs like parsley, chives, dill … etc
