Notes
Don’t Fear the Reaper: this creamy tahini sauce goes great with all kinds of heat, from a dash of hot sauce to spice things up to stirring a spoonful of the sauce into your favorite soups and stews.
Up the Flavor: while I like a ratio of 2 parts tahini to one part water and one part fresh lemon juice, but you can also use more or less of the lemon juice or water to your taste and texture preferences.
