Step 1

Stir the jar of tahini paste before starting.

Step 2

Place 150g tahini paste, 1 clove crushed garlic and the juice of a lemon into a small mixing bowl.

Step 3

Mix with a fork until combined. Slowly pour in the cold water, stirring with the fork all the time. It will look like it’s about to curdle but don’t worry - keep going and it’ll soon turn smooth.

Step 4

The sauce will thicken if you leave it so you may need to add some extra water before serving if making in advance.

Step 5

Season with salt if required.
