Ingredients
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons Bragg's Liquid Aminos or Tamari for GF or (soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons water
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon garlic chili sauce or sriracha (optional for spice) add to taste
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the tahini, Bragg's Liquid Aminos, and lemon juice until smooth. (This will become very thick.)
- Add the water 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Add the minced garlic and garlic chili sauce to the bowl and whisk until well combined.
- Serve the spicy tahini sauce immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
-
- Tahini settles on the shelf. Be sure to give it a good stir to mix in the oil if any has risen to the surface.
-
- Tahini gets thicker when a small amount of liquid is added to it. Just keep adding the given about of liquid and stirring, then it will thin out into a perfectly smooth sauce.
