Ingredients
- 150g tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove
- Crushed salt
Directions
- Mix together all the ingredients, along with 120ml of water and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
- If it is too runny, add a bit more tahini.
- If it is too thick, add a bit more lemon juice or water. You want the consistency to be like that of a smooth, runny nut butter.
- It will thicken up when left to sit around, so just give it a stir and some more lemon juice or water every time you use it.
