Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 1 c. sesame paste
• 1 t. citric acid
• 1 t. salt
• 1 t. garlic powder
• ¾ c. water

Method

 

1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Note: Tahina will get thicker before it gets thinner. If it is still too think once all the water has been added, continue to add water a few tablespoons at a time and blend until it resembles a thick sauce. Once refrigerated, tahina will thicken.
   

Notes

Seasoning and water measurements may vary depending on which brand of sesame paste you use. I prefer Achva brand. Makes 2 cups.
