Tahini Sauce Recipe from Cyprus

2/3 cups tahini paste
1 whole lemon juice
1 clove of garlic
1/2 cup of water or more if needed
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Direction

Put the tahini paste,lemon juice, garlic and water in a bowl and use a blender or food processor to mix well for a minute or so. If needed add more water or lemon, it should be runny enough to easily drop off a spoon.

Add the olive oil and taste as you add the seasoning

Serve with toasted pita bread, or with any vegetables

* Using hot water in the food processor helps to loosen the tahini paste if it is thick, and lemon juice thickens the sauce.

Be creative with Tahini, Tzaziki or Hummus add crackers, pita bread and the vegetables you love! Great for kids snack or parties. Bring families together.

Tahini with Cashews

1 cup of cashew nuts
1 Tbsp of tahini
1 Tbsp of nutritional yeast
1/4 to 1/2 cup of water add extra if needed
1 whole juice of lime
Salt and Pepper to taste

Place all of the ingredients into a food processor and blend until creamy, about 5 minutes. To create a thinner consistency, add a little more water until you reach your desired texture.  Voila!
Remember, I said be creative.
