Seriously Meatless: Tahina Recipe

1. 1

   If the oil has separated in your tahini, stir it back together, then measure 1 cup into a good sized bowl.

2. 2

   Mix the garlic, salt, cumin and lemon juice into the tahini.

3. 3

   Start vigorously beating in cold water, 1/4 cup or so at a time, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. You'll see it start to emulsify, lighten in color and become easier to stir. It will probably take about 3/4 cup of water total.

4. 4

   Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, lemon juice, or cumin as needed.

5. 5

   The traditional way to serve tahina is in a large, flat bowl. Form a swirl with the back of a spoon, and then apply any of the garnishes listed above.
