Ingredients
Method
- Combine 1/3 cup tahini, 1/2 cup fresh parsley, 1/4 cup water, 3 Tbsp lemon juice, 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1-2 tsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1 large smashed garlic clove, and 1 stalk of green onion in a high-speed blender.
- Blend all ingredients until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure an even consistency.
- Taste the tahini sauce and adjust the seasoning. Add more lemon juice for brightness, maple syrup for sweetness, or garlic for a spicier kick.
- If a thinner consistency is desired, add the remaining water (up to 1/3 cup total) 1 tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until your preferred texture is reached. Serve immediately or store.
Notes
- For optimal blending, ensure your tahini is well-stirred in its jar before measuring.
- Adjust the water content gradually to achieve your desired thickness; a thinner sauce for drizzling, thicker for dipping.
- If the sauce seems bitter, add a touch more maple syrup or lemon juice to balance the flavors.
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Freezing is not recommended as it can alter the texture. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
