Tahini sauce: The basic recipe

So you know the basic recipe for falafel? Now you just need the perfect sauce! Tahini sauce is made in no time with tahinilemongarlic and parsley . By the way, this sauce is called tarratohr in Lebanon.

The tahini sauce tastes slightly nutty and yet wonderfully fresh. The lemon gives the sauce a lovely acidity and the parsley slightly slows down the strong garlic.

Tarratohr is fantastic with falafel, or shawarma, but also with grilled meat (e.g. kafta) and fried vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 85 g Tahini
  • 1  Garlic clove
  • 1/2 Lemon
  • 1 handful flat leaf parsley
  • 100 ml water or more according to taste. It depends on the tahini used.
  • Salt, pepper

Zubereitung

  • Peel the garlic clove and crush it with the salt in a mortar.
  • Squeeze the lemon.
  • Chop the parsley.
  • In a bowl, mix the garlic-salt mixture with the tahini.
  • Add the juice of half a lemon and mix together. The mixture will now behave a little strangely: The tahini reacts with the lemon – and the mixture stiffens.
  • Now add the water and mix everything well with a fork. The sauce is now liquid and creamy.
  • Now add the chopped parsley and taste the sauce again with salt and pepper as needed. One serving yields approx. 250 ml.
