Lemon-Tahini Fish Sauce

I have a new obsession. It’s tahini. I’ve heard a few other bloggers talk about how good this seed butter is but never picked it up at the store since the only brand I could find was majorly expensive. Luckily, they started carrying a new brand that’s much cheaper and I decided to give it a go.

I’m not looking back.

The flavor is very savory, almost bitter, just like you’d imagine sesame seeds to be in concentration. On its own it’s a bit much but paired with other flavors it’s excellent.

Lemon-Tahini Fish Sauce

Ingredients:

• 2 Tablespoons tahini
• 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons neutral oil
• 1/2 Tablespoon water
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon dill weed

Mix all of the ingredients together until smooth and silky. If the sauce is too thick, add an extra 1/2 a tablespoon of water to thin it out.

This sauce would be good with:

• Any white fish
• Tofu
• Tempeh
• Veggie burgers
• Chickpeas
• Diced potatoes

And much more. This recipe was a huge success; I can’t wait to try more with tahini.
