Two tahini sauces
Because Ken asked…
This is a standard, simple tahini-yogurt sauce. Good for dipping veggies in, on falafel, pita chips, etc
Tahini yogurt Sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/3 cup plain yogurt
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 clove garlic
process in blender, processor, or immersion blender.
Keeps for about a week
Tahini sesame sauce
This is great on noodles with any fresh veggies you can find (blanch them if you feel like it), and even a few canned ones (baby corn, bamboo shoots) with cilantro, mint and green onion (basil??). I always make more than I need because it keeps really well in the fridge in a jar and is great on stir fries, or even mixed with plain yogurt for a veggie dip.
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup sesame oil (can mix with hot chili oil for a spicy kick)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin (Japanses rice wine)
- 4 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1-2 Tablespoon brown sugar
process in blender, processor, or immersion blender.
let me know how it goes, bro…

the first one is what i have tried to date: as a salad dressing on garden fresh lettuce with green beans and cukes, awesome. as a dip for carrots and celery, excellent.
