Jalapeño Lime Tahini Sauce
Tahini, a paste made from sesame seeds, is one of the best-known ingredients in the Middle East, often used in hummus and sauces. Jalapeño lime tahini sauce is a modern, international variation that combines the rich flavor of classic tahini with the heat of jalapeño and the freshness of lime. This flavor combination is perfect for a variety of dishes, from salads to grilled vegetables to dips. Imagine the fresh scent of lime and the spicy aroma of jalapeño filling the kitchen as the silky tahini sauce comes together. The secret lies in the perfect balance of lime and jalapeño: if you want a milder flavor, reduce the amount of pepper, but if you like spicy flavors, feel free to leave the seeds in. This sauce is an ideal choice for picnics, gatherings with friends, or any occasion where you want to add a little spice to your meal.
