Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (125g) runny tahini
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) maple syrup
  • 1 clove (5g) garlic, peeled
  • 1/2 cup (15g) fresh cilantro, stems removed
  • 3-5 tbsp (45-75ml) warm water
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) fine sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp (0.3g) cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Add the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic clove, salt, and black pepper into a blender or mixing bowl. If using a bowl, mince the garlic into a fine paste first.
  2. Add the fresh cilantro leaves. Pulse the blender until the cilantro is finely flecked and the sauce turns a vibrant, pale green. If whisking, finely chop the cilantro and stir it in.
  3. While the blender is running on low (or while whisking vigorously), slowly drizzle in the warm water one tablespoon at a time until the sauce reaches a velvety, pourable consistency.
