Creamy Homemade Tahini Sauce

A smooth, creamy four-ingredient tahini whose thickness you can adjust to its use: thick for a spread, thin for a sauce.

1
Mix the tahini, lemon juice, garlic and cumin and season with salt.
2
Gradually add cold water while stirring, until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
💡When you add the first water, the tahini thickens and looks like dough: that's fine. Keep adding water and stirring, and it loosens into a smooth sauce.
3
Add the sesame oil and stir.
4
Sprinkle the parsley on top and serve.
