Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup tahini
1/2 cup water
Juice of 2 lemons
2 Tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
4 hot red chilies, seeded and chopped
Sea salt
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts

Steps:

In a small bowl mix the tahini, water and lemon juice until creamy (it should look like smooth cake batter) and set aside. In a saucepan, heat the olive oil and sauté the garlic for 1 minute, then add the cilantro and hot chilies and stir for another minute. Pour in the tahini mixture and whisk to combine. Season with salt to taste. It should be a creamy pourable consistency-add a small amount of water if needed. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors mingle. Remove from heat and stir in the toasted pine nuts. Serve hot.
