Tahini Sauce for Fish - Twitchin Kitten - 09-16-2008
A sauce used often in Syria and Lebanon, served with fried and grilled fish as well as with cold fish.
Tarator bi Tahina
Ingredients:
1 cup tahini
1/4 - 1/2 cup lemon juice or more
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 tsp cumin
salt
2 - 4 cloves garlic, crushed
3 Tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley (optional)
Blend the tahini with the lemon juice and water in a food processor. The paste will stiffen at first and then become smooth. Add enough water to achieve a light cream. Add cumin, season to taste with salt, and beat in the garlic.
Pour over cold fish or serve in a separate bowl so people can use it to cover fish like a sauce. Garnish with parsley if you wish.
Makes about 3 cups
