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.
