Creamy tahini sauce with rough lemon and herb flecks
TooGut pickFlexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

Tahini seizes when lemon hits it. That is normal. Add cold water gradually and it relaxes into a creamy sauce without dairy or emulsifiers.

One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Let it seize

Whisk tahini, lemon, garlic and salt. The mixture will tighten before it loosens.

Add water slowly

Whisk in iced water one tablespoon at a time until pale and spoonable.

Keep the herbs rough

Fold through chopped herbs by hand so the sauce keeps visible fresh texture.

Chill briefly

Rest for 10 minutes, then adjust lemon, salt and water before serving.
