Tahini Sauce Recipe (How to Make Tahini)

garlic

tsp salt

tahini paste

lime juice (or lemon juice, if you prefer)

water,

parsley

Using a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic cloves with the salt into a paste (or mince the garlic and season with salt.)

Add the crushed garlic, tahini paste and lime juice to the bowl of a food processor and blend (it will be thick as it emulsifies.) Add a little bit of water and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.

Transfer the tahini to a serving bowl, and if you like stir in fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!

This is delicious! I added some pparikanand cumin to it because I didn’t have any Lesley available. I’m looking forward to trying it as written next time.

Thank you, Suzy!  We discovered a farm down the road with fresh, local ground lamb!  I am using your recipe for lamb burgers, and just made this tahini sauce for them as well.  I did not have parsley, being limited with Covid etc...but I have fresh mint from my garden and I had just purchased some fresh spinach.  So I chopped and combined them for the sauce and....perfection!  Looking forward to dinner.
Love your website, and plan to return often.

Followed the recipe and it was sooooo yummy! I'll be putting that sh*t  on everything! 🤤

Tahini Recipe (Super Easy &Amp; Creamy!)

sesame seeds

Tahini Recipe (Super Easy &amp; Creamy!)

Gently toast the sesame seeds (stirring constantly) on medium low for 5 minutes, or until slightly golden. Then, let them cool to room temperature.

Once the sesame seeds have cooled, add them to your Vitamix. Blend on high for one minute, using the tamper to push the seeds into the blades, creating a tahini paste.

Add the olive oil and blend for another minute to create a creamy consistency.

Learn how to make ultra creamy tahini sauce! The best tahini sauce is ultra creamy, deliciously tangy and irresistible. This recipe is easy to make, too. You'll just need a whisk! Recipe yields 1 to 1 1/4 cup; double if desired.

Best Tahini Sauce

garlic, pressed

fine sea salt

In a medium bowl, combine the garlic and lemon juice. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, to give the garlic time to infuse the lemon juice with flavor.

Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into another medium bowl. Press the garlic solids with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the garlic.

Add the tahini, salt and cumin to the bowl. Whisk until the mixture is thoroughly blended.

Add water 2 tablespoons at a time, whisking after each addition until smooth. (It may seize up, don&#8217;t worry.) After about 6 tablespoons, you will have a perfectly creamy and smooth, light-colored tahini sauce.

If desired, thin with additional water for a more drizzly sauce. Adjust if necessary—if you&#8217;d like more tang, add more lemon, or for more overall flavor, add another pinch of salt. Your tahini sauce is ready to serve!

This is an excellent sauce. It is so good that my 2 year old literally started eating it with a spoon...

Excellent!  I used a food processor but otherwise made as directed. So good with falafal. It’s my go to now!

Yum really enjoyed this (making it and eating it). thank you!

This was delicious... until I added the cumin. It made the dressing taste bland and took away it's bold flavor. I would give this recipe 5 stars without the cumin, though.

Just made this for the roasted broccoli….it was so good.  Thank you so much! xo

This was delicious! I like many of your recipes this one and the lentil soup are absolutely delicious!

Really good overall but too much lemon juice for me — it was really acidic.

I love this sauce! I used garlic powder, &amp; it came together so quickly. We first enjoyed it drizzled over chickpea-stuffed baked sweet potatoes, &amp; then I had it spread on an egg sandwich with two over easy eggs, EBTB seasoning, spinach, &amp; avocado. Thank you for an amazing go-to recipe!

This came out delicious! As a rookie cook, this made me super happy!

Love the recipe. However music is annoying in video :-(

Outstanding tahini sauce!  I’ve been making it for more than 40 years- never quite smooth enough..... the strained garlicky lemon juice is truly a game changer! Made it in the food processor and added the oil from the tahini to thin as well.... ice water is a brilliant ingredient also.    Just made a quadruple recipe to share with our daughter- such a great sauce!   Thanks 

I don’t use the garlic because my stomach is sensitive to it, but it’s still delicious without it!! I like to dip roasted sweet potatoes in this and make it a bit thinner to use as a salad dressing!! Thanks for sharing :)

Awesome! Cooked the garlic and kept it in the final sauce, sooooooo delicious! Thanks for this recipe!

Love this sauce! I mad with to go with the mujadara recipe and it was perfect

So delicious &amp; easy to make! I omitted the cumin. I could just eat it on its own with a spoon.

It's truly the best: easily made and so fresh! I used Joyva Brand tahini. A great olive-bread dip, but also delish on steamed vegetables. Thanks for the recipe.

Delish and super simple!  Good on pretty much everything....  Thanks!

Hi Kate, your recipes are always so excellent, thanks for this and for the tip about soaking the garlic in the lemon juice.  I wanted to let you know about this organic tahini that's made in NYC - it's fantastic.  www.seedandmill.com. They also have incredible halva. :) I was using the Soom but this is even better. 
Lynn

A great sauce, exactly what I hoped for my falafel.  Infusing the lemon juice with garlic was creative and gave the anticipated result.  Thank you!

Way to much garlic for only half a cup of tahini. Followed the instruction and allowed it to soak in lemon juice, maybe I let it soak a few minutes too long but god damn it made it extremely bitter. Added a ton more tahini but still can’t shake the extremely garlicky after taste. Other that that it’s great. Has a great flavor initially but then just gets way overpowered with garlic.

<em>You only need 3 simple ingredients to make this amazing Tahini Dressing! It's customizable, perfect for Meal Prep, and delicious on just about everything.</em>

How to Make Tahini Dressing

Tahini*

of 2-3 small Lemons (about 1/4 cup)

tsp Pink Himalayan Salt

First, add the Tahini, Lemon Juice, and Salt to a medium/large bowl and whisk together. You&#8217;ll notice that the Tahini will become thicker as you whisk.

Next, slowly pour ¼ cup of the Water into the bowl as you whisk it into the mixture. Slowly add the remaining ¼ cup of Water to the bowl while you mix the dressing vigorously. If you would like your dressing to be thinner, continue to add water slowly and whisk until the dressing reaches your desired consistency.

If you’d like to add other Spices, Herbs, or Maple Syrup to the dressing, whisk those in now. Otherwise, serve as desired. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 14 days.

I love your recipes! This is delicious and so versatile!

Super easy and so satisfying no matter what you put it on or dip in it!

What other things do you eat tahini dressing on? I made this but played with the seasoning a bit and I am OBSESSED. I made it for a buddha bowl, but I also used it as salad dressing,  and I am going to make a pasta salad with it later in the week buuut i could seriously eat it with every meal and I'm out of ideas!

Creamy, savory tahini sauce with just 3 ingredients! The perfect vegan sauce for falafel, salads, veggie burgers, and everything in between!

3 Ingredient Tahini Sauce For Everything

tahini ((from raw or roasted sesame seeds))

tsp tsp sea salt ((plus more to taste))

garlic powder

warm water ((plus more as needed))

Add tahini, sea salt, and garlic powder to a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine.

Add water a little at a time, continuing to whisk, until you have a creamy, pourable sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Tahini is meant to be the prominent flavor, but add garlic powder for more garlic flavor or sea salt for saltiness.

This sauce is ideal for falafel, salads, veggie burgers, and just about everything in between! It's ideal for dishes that need a creamy sauce that isn't overwhelmingly flavorful.

Store in the refrigerator covered for 1-2 weeks.

Tahini is an Arabic name for ground sesame seeds. However, its origins are thought to have been in Persia, where it was called “ardeh.” Tahini later found its way to Israel and was held as a delicacy.

3-Ingredient Tahini Sauce For Everything | Minimalist Baker Recipes

How to make authentic Falafel from scratch using soaked chickpeas (not canned)  with Homemade Pita, Creamy Tahini Sauce, Pickled Turnips, Cucumber Yogurt Sauce  *Chickpeas need 10-24 hours of soaking time. Makes 10 Falafels (I highly recommend making a double batch of the falafels!) 

Authentic Falafel Recipe with Tahini Sauce and Homemade Pita Bread

dry chickpeas

Cilantro (stems ok)

garlic cloves

jalapeno, seeds ok

tablespoon Coriander

Cumin

tsp baking soda

tsp kosher salt (add more to taste)

oil oil

turnips,

½ thinly sliced onion

C red wine vinegar

water

salt

tsp sugar

coriander dill

Cup plain Greek yogurt

Cup tahini paste

tsp kosher salt

cracked pepper

lemon

Soak 3/4 cup dry chickpeas in a bowl of cold water on the counter for 10- 12 hours or up to 24 hours hours. They will swell into 2 cups. Place in a strainer, letting them drain WELL, and pat dry with a towel for extra dryness. (Wet chickpeas will be more difficult to fry.)

Measure 2 cups of the soaked, uncooked chickpeas and place in a food processor and pulse repeatedly along with the onion, garlic, cilantro, chili, salt spices, baking soda, and olive oil, scraping down sides, until it is well blended but still coarse like sand. Don&#8217;t overwork it- this should not be smooth, but rather quite coarse and granular.

Using damp hands, form round, slightly smaller than golf ball sized balls in your hands. If it feels very wet, feel free to lightly dredge in flour if you like. (I usually don&#8217;t, even when wet!). Refrigerate 20 minutes. 

In a non-stick pan or cast iron skillet, heat a ¼ inch of &#8220;high-heat&#8221; oil on med-high heat until it sizzles when a pea-sized portion of falafel is dropped in.

Turn heat to medium.  Place them carefully in the hot oil, do not move or mess with them until a deeply golden crust forms (this crust will ensure they naturally releases from the pan). Using a thin metal spatula, carefully turn over. Lower heat if necessary. Sear the other side. Each side will take about 3-4 minutes. Cook in batches, not crowding. Place falafels in the oven while you cook the remaining falafels to cook them through.  Keep them in a warm oven until ready to serve.

Bring all ingredients to a boil in a medium-sized pot, remove from heat, and refrigerate until ready to eat.

Middle Eastern Pickled Turnips 

Blend all in the food processor, until smooth. This may seem slightly salty, but trust me it works in the big picture when all the components are combined.

Creamy Tahini Sauce: 

I could not fry them without them falling apart.

We made the tahini sauce and it was amazing. We will be trying the falafels next week but buying the bread from our local shop.

Flavor great.... I tried to use canned garbanzos...let them dry but the falafels just fell apart in the pan no matter how long they cooked...very sad.  

Pita and tzaziki sauce are great

Add your favorite variety of rice or even noodles, colorful crunchy vegetables, and tofu, edamame beans or chickpeas for plant-based protein, you’ll have the perfect satisfying rainbow bowl for lunch or dinner!

Vegan Poke Bowl with Tahini Sauce

Jasmine rice

water (360 ml)

Recipe crispy tofu (or sub crispy chickpeas, *see instruction)

cucumber (diced)

purple cabbage (shredded (135 g))

radishes (sliced)

green onions (optional)

carrot lox (or 2 large julienned carrots)

edamame (155 g)

avocado (diced)

tahini (or sub peanut butter

tsp fresh ginger (grated (optional))

tsp miso paste (optional)

tbsp rice vinegar

tbsp tamari (or soy sauce)

tsp sriracha (optional to taste)

water (to desired consistency)

lemons (or limes)

jalapeños (sliced)

herbs (e.g. cilantro or Thai basil)

*Tip: I like to prep some rice, carrot lox, tahini sauce, and crispy tofu at the beginning of the week to make poke bowl variations throughout the week for a quick lunch!

Add the rice, and water to a pot (or rice cooker) and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, until all of the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat and allow to steam for 10 minutes with the lid on. Add the salt, fluff with a fork, and set aside.

Rice:

In the meantime, prepare the crispy tofu according to this recipe. (Alternatively, prepare crispy chickpeas according to this recipe.)

Tofu:

Dice the cucumber, shred the cabbage with a Mandoline, and slice the radishes and green onions. If you don’t have carrot lox on hand, cut 2 large carrots into ribbons, using a vegetable peeler or julienne. Also, thaw the edamame as per package instructions and dice the avocado.

Vegetables:

Blend all ingredients for the tahini sauce in a blender until smooth. Add water to your desired consistency. (Alternatively, serve your poke bowl with peanut sauce).
