👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Mix the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, turmeric and hot paprika and season with salt.
  2. 2
    Gradually add cold water while stirring, until the sauce is smooth and soft.
    💡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. 3
    Spread the tahini on a flat plate, drizzle the olive oil on top.
