Step 1

Combine the garlic and lemon juice in a small bowl and stir to combine. Let the garlic rest for 5 to 10 minutes so that its flavor can mellow.

Step 2

Add the tahini, sea salt, cumin and whisk to combine. While continuing to whisk with one hand, slowly stream ¼ cup water into the mixture and whisk until smooth. (The tahini may seize up briefly, but keep whisking and it will smooth out.)

Step 3

Add extra water if needed to thin the tahini sauce to your desired consistency.

Step 4

Serve. Serve immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
