Sweet and Spicy Tahini Sauce

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 4 servings
Author: Tracy Halasz

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • 1-2 tsp tamari
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1+ tbsp sriracha

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients into a small bowl and whisk together.
  • Taste for flavours and adjust as desired. Add a teaspoonful of water at a time to thin out the sauce and make it more pourable.
  • Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the fridge. The tahini sauce will thicken in the fridge. Add a teaspoonful of water to thin out the sauce after it has been in the fridge.

Notes

  • Depending on how much lemon you use, how thick your tahini paste is, and what you are using your sauce for (condiment dip or drizzle), you may need to add a teaspoonful or more of water to thin out.
  • Find tahini paste in the International aisle, 'natural' aisle or peanut butter aisle in most grocery stores. Stir well to incorporate oil before using. Store in fridge after opening.
  • STORAGE - the sauce stores well in the fridge in an airtight container all week.
    It will thicken in the fridge.
