• 0.5 cups well-stirred tahini
• 1/3 cup cold water
• 1/4 tsp ground cumin
• A pinch of ground cayenne pepper
• Coarse salt

Preparation:

1. In a medium bowl, combine lemon juice, honey, and garlic paste. Gradually add tahini.
2. Whisk in the water little by little until the sauce is smooth and the consistency of cold heavy cream. Add the cumin, cayenne pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Season to taste.
