BASIC TAHINI SAUCE
I learned this while living in Jordan. The family I stayed with introduced me to fried cauliflower, and this was the sauce they used over the top.

Steps:
- Crush the garlic in a mortar and pestle (or other if you have something you prefer that will crush it effectively into a pulp).
- Add little bit of each the tahini, lemon juice and water alternating as you go, and stir to blend well, until it's all mixed inches.
- It should resemble a slightly thick sauce that can be poured but not over thin to be runny.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Use with any vegetable you like.
- It's traditionally used over fried cauliflower, or zucchini.
- Some like dipping flat bread in it, and others I've seen use it as a base for another recipe, such as hummus.
- If desired, you can add more lemon if you like it tart, or more garlic if you really like garlic as I do.
- Most families have their own mix, so it's up to you.
