Cyprus Tahini Dip

Step 1

Put the tahini paste, lemon juice, garlic and water in a bowl and use a blender or food processor and mix well.

Step 2

Check the flavor and the consistency – it should be runny enough to easily drop off a spoon

Step 3

Add more lemon if required (as well as adding flavor, this will thicken the sauce)

Step 4

Add more water if the consistency is not as creamy and runny as required – this will make the sauce runnier

Step 5

Add the olive oil

Step 6

Taste as you add the seasoning

Step 7

Serve with toasted pita bread at the beginning of the meze
