Creamy Tahini and Lemon Dressing

Ingredients

• 120 gram tahini
• 2 piece lemon
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 100 millilitre cold water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. 1Stir the tahini in its tin first — the oil separates and the paste at the bottom is what you want.
2. 2Whisk the tahini in a bowl with the juice of both lemons, the crushed garlic, cumin and salt.
3. 3It will seize into a thick paste — keep going, this is meant to happen.
4. 4Add the cold water a tablespoon at a time, whisking hard, until it loosens and turns pale and creamy.
5. 5Whisk in the olive oil and check the seasoning — tahini needs more salt and lemon than feels right.
6. 6Keeps in a jar in the fridge for 1 week. Loosen with more cold water as it thickens.
