Sesame tahini garlic sauce served

Sesame Tahini Garlic Sauce

Tahini, or sesame seed paste, is a staple ingredient in Middle Eastern cuisine, used in many dishes such as hummus and various sauces. Complemented with garlic and lemon juice, it creates a rich, silky sauce that pairs perfectly with vegetables, grilled meats, or even pita bread. As the garlic turns golden brown in the olive oil, then mingles with the freshness of tahini and lemon, the kitchen fills with a harmonious blend of flavors. This sauce is easy to prepare yet adds a unique flavor to any dish.
