Tarator Sauce

By Saad Fayed, About.com

Tarator sauce is perfect for meats, and even better on pita sandwiches like shawarma. It is a universal sauce and can be used on veggies, seafood, beef, chicken and lamb.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup tahini * See recipe below
  • 3/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon parsley, finely chopped
  • dash of cumin

Preparation:

In a food processor, combine tahini, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and cumin together. Mix well and add water as you are combining the ingredients.

Remove from processor and into a small bowl. Stir in parsley.

Serve immediately, or store in refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container.
