-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Garlic cloves
Salt
3/4 c Tahini
1 tb White vinegar
1 Lemon -- juiced
1/2 c -Water
1/2 ts Ground cumin
1/2 c Chopped parsley
Crush garlic cloves with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Place tahini in mixing bowl and beat well. This
preliminary beating reduces the strong flavour of the
tahini.
Beat in garlic and vinegar. Gradually add lemon juice
alternately with water. To make a cream salad of good
consistency add enough lemon juice to make the tahini
very thick before adding water. This way you have
more scope in adjusting the flavour and consistency of
the sauce.
Add salt to taste, and more lemon juice if a sharper
sauce is required. Blend in cumin and parsley and
chill until required. Serve as a mazza or as directed
in recipes.
Makes about 1 3/4 cups
