Tahina Cream

Tahina cream is not the same as Tahini.  You use it on falafel or grilled meats as a sauce and even just for dipping.


2/3 c lemon juice (2 1/2 lemons)
2/3 c. tahina paste
1-3 cloves garlic
Salt to taste
2 T. chopped flat leaf parsley to garnish

Blend until smooth.  Add enough water to achieve a light cream.  Taste and add more lemon juice, garlic, or salt until the flavor is strong and sharp.

Serve in bowl sprinkled with parsley.

Variation:
Don't add any water.  Instead, add 2/3 c. plain whole-milk yogurt.  This is more delicate and creamy.
