cups
Ingredients
12
ounces
tahini paste
2-3
heads black garlic, pulp only
Juice of half a lemon
½
cup
curly parsley
1 ½
tsp
salt
½
tsp
pepper
1-2
tbsp
water, optional
Instructions
Slice off the top of each garlic head in a semi-circular motion (following the shape of the garlic) to access the cloves.
Combine all ingredients, with the garlic cloves, in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Taste, and add more salt, pepper, water or lemon juice as desired.
You can adjust the consistency of the tahini by adding more lemon juice or water to make a pourable consistency (this recipe yields a thick spread).
Serve with grilled pita wedges, multi-grain crackers or as a sauce for chicken or fish.
