Guest guest Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 * Exported from MasterCook * Lemon-Tahini Sauce Recipe By :Lorna Sass, Short-Cut Vegetarian, page 23 Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:10 Categories : Sauces Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 small bunch flat-leaf parsley (about 30 sprigs) 1/2 cup sesame tahini 2 large garlic cloves -- (2 to 4) 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice -- (4 to 5) 2 tablespoons water -- (2 to 6) 3/4 teaspoon salt -- or to taste 1/8 teaspoon cayenne -- (optional) Holding the parsley in a bunch, trim off and discard an inch or so from the bottom of the stems. Cut the bunch crosswise into thirds. Place in a colander, rinse, and drain. Bounce the colander up and down to shake off excess water. Place the tahini, parsley, garlic, 4 tablespoons lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons water into the bowl of a food processor. Blend well, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed and adding enough additional water and/or lemon juice to create a sauce with a smooth, pourable consistency and a nice puckery taste. (The amount of liquid you'll need to add will depend upon the thickness of the tahini and how much water adhered to the parsley). Add the salt and cayenne (if using). Refrigerate until needed,for up to 1 week. Thin as needed with additional fresh lemon juice - or water, if you're out of lemons.

NOTES : Whip up a batch and toss it with grains and chopped carrots for a colorful salad, blend it with cooked chickpeas for a quick sandwich filling, or spoon it over microwaved kale or steamed broccoli florets set on a bed of brown rice for an entree. The amount of garlic you'll need depends upon your taste. I like to start with two cloves and blend in more if needed - keeping in mind that the sauce's flavor will be somewhat diluted when mixed with other ingredients. Nutr.
