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 tahini, lemon, garlic 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.
