Miso-Tahini Dip image

This creamy (yet dairy-free) dip uses two ingredient powerhouses that are rarely combined: umami-rich miso and nutty tahini paste. Rounded out with a little garlic, lemon juice, and sesame oil, the result is a deliciously addictive dip that is guaranteed to get a lot of play at a party. Serve it alongside a mild vegetable for dipping, like these lightly blanched asparagus stalks.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed
2 tablespoons white miso paste
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons tahini paste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Drain and refrigerate on a towel-lined plate until cold, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add miso to small mixing bowl and whisk in 3 tablespoons hot water. On a cutting board, add a pinch of salt to minced garlic and mash with the side of a chef's knife until it becomes a paste.
  • Add garlic paste to miso mixture along with tahini, lemon juice, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk until smooth and serve with chilled asparagus.
