Steps
Steps
- 1Crush the garlic with the salt and steep it in the lemon juice for 10 minutes, then strain the solids out.
- 2Put the tahini in a bowl and whisk in the lemon liquid. It will immediately seize into a thick, grainy mass — this is expected and not a mistake.
- 3Add the iced water a tablespoon at a time, whisking hard after each.
- 4Keep going through the seized stage; the sauce suddenly loosens, pales and turns silky.
- 5Whisk in the cumin and check the salt.
- 6Adjust with more water for a pourable sauce or less for a thick dip. It thickens again in the fridge, so loosen before serving.
