put tahini paste,
water, garlic,
lemon juice and salt
together in a food
processor or blender till
sauce is creamy and
ivory-colored. A food
processor is the easiest
way to make this sauce;
scrape the sides of the
processor periodically
during processing. If
using a blender, you may
need to use a long-
handled spoon to break
up the thick part of the
sauce once every 30
seconds; this will keep it
from clogging your
blender blades. After a
few minutes of blending,
sauce will turn into a
rich, smooth paste. If
mixture is too thick,
slowly add more water
until it reaches the
preferred consistency.
You may need quite a
bit of water depending
on the thickness of your
tahini paste. Taste often
during the blending
process; add more lemon
juice or salt, if desired.
