THE BEST TAHINI SAUCE RECIPE (HOW TO MAKE TAHINI SAUCE)

Steps:

• Add all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl.
• Whisk everything together until it's creamy. It may look a bit separated at first, but keep whisking until it's creamy. Alternatively, you could add all of the ingredients to a food processor and blend together.
• Taste and adjust any flavors as desired.
• Use immediately or store in an air-tight storage container for up to two weeks in the fridge.

BEST TAHINI SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the garlic and lemon juice. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, to give the garlic time to infuse the lemon juice with flavor.
• Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into another medium bowl. Press the garlic solids with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the garlic.
• Add the tahini, salt and cumin to the bowl. Whisk until the mixture is thoroughly blended.
• Add water 2 tablespoons at a time, whisking after each addition until smooth. (It may seize up, don't worry.) After about 6 tablespoons, you will have a perfectly creamy and smooth, light-colored tahini sauce.
• If desired, thin with additional water for a more drizzly sauce. Adjust if necessary-if you'd like more tang, add more lemon, or for more overall flavor, add another pinch of salt. Your tahini sauce is ready to serve!

TAHINI SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic, and sea salt. Season to taste. If you find the tahini sauce too bitter, add ¼ to ½ teaspoon maple syrup or honey to balance the flavor. If it's too sharp, add ½ to 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil to mellow the flavor. If it's too thick, add water, as needed, to reach your desired consistency.See the blog post about for the turmeric, beet, and green tahini sauce variations.

TAHINI GRILLED SALMON WITH SAUTEED SPINACH, BEETS WITH SESAME SEEDS, EGGPLANT PUREE AND TAHINI SAUCE

Steps:

• For the tahini grilled salmon: Preheat the grill to medium and lightly oil the grates. Mix the soy sauce and tahini in a bowl. Brush the salmon on both sides with the tahini soy sauce and place on the grill. Cook the salmon for about 3 minutes on each side and remove from the grill.
• For the crispy salmon skin: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Sprinkle the salmon skin with salt and pepper and place on the grill skin-side down. Once the skin begins to bubble, flip and grill until the salmon skin is completely crisp. Remove the salmon skin from the grill, place on a paper towel, cut in half and set aside.
• For the sauteed spinach: Heat the oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and shallots and saute until tender. Add the spinach and toss to incorporate until the spinach has wilted. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
• For the beets with sesame seeds: Place the red wine vinegar, salt, sugar and beets in a pot filled with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the beets from the liquid and cool slightly. Wearing gloves, remove the skins of the beets and cut into bite-size pieces. Before serving, place the beets on a plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• For the eggplant puree: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Place the eggplant skin-side up on the prepared tray and roast until the eggplant has caramelized and cooked, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and scoop the flesh into a food processor. Add the tahini and olive oil and puree until smooth.
• For the tahini sauce: Place the sour cream, milk, tahini, honey, sesame oil, lemon juice and salt to taste in a bowl and stir to incorporate. Cover and place in the fridge until serving.
• To assemble: Spoon the eggplant puree in the center of a plate. Place the sauteed spinach on top of the puree. Place the tahini grilled salmon over the sauteed spinach. Drizzle the tahini sauce around the center of the dish. Scatter the beets with sesame seeds around the plate. Garnish with the crispy salmon skin.

BASIC TEHINA SAUCE

Steps:

• Break up the head of garlic with your hands, letting the unpeeled cloves fall into a blender. Add the lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Blend on high for a few seconds until you have a coarse purée. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes to let the garlic mellow.
• Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer set over a large mixing bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. Add the tehina to the strained lemon juice in the bowl, along with the cumin and 1 teaspoon of the salt.
• Whisk the mixture together until smooth (or use a food processor), adding ice water, a few tablespoons at a time, to thin it out. The sauce will lighten in color as you whisk. When the tehina seizes up or tightens, keep adding ice water, bit by bit (about 1 1/2 cups in total), whisking energetically until you have a perfectly smooth, creamy, thick sauce.
• Taste and add up to 1 1/2 teaspoons more salt and cumin if you like. If you're not using the sauce immediately, whisk in a few tablespoons of ice water to loosen it before refrigerating. The tehina sauce will keep a week refrigerated, or it can be frozen up to a month.
