Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini
- 1/2 cup water
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 hot red chilies, seeded and chopped
- Sea salt
- 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
Directions
- In a small bowl mix the tahini, water and lemon juice until creamy (it should look like smooth cake batter) and set aside. In a saucepan, heat the olive oil and sauté the garlic for 1 minute, then add the cilantro and hot chilies and stir for another minute. Pour in the tahini mixture and whisk to combine. Season with salt to taste. It should be a creamy pourable consistency—add a small amount of water if needed. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors mingle. Remove from heat and stir in the toasted pine nuts. Serve hot.
