  6. 6
    Mix the tahini, lemon juice and garlic and season with salt.
  7. 7
    Gradually add cold water while stirring, until the sauce is smooth, pale and pourable.
    💡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.
  8. 8
    Fill the gluten-free bread with the shawarma and add the tomatoes, cucumber and parsley. Drizzle the tahini sauce over the filling and serve immediately.
