A favourite way to amp up the flavour of some classic dishes like stir-frys is this Lemon Tahini Sauce. Tahini is the paste of sesame seeds and provides a bit of a nutty flavour. For every 2 tbsp of tahini, it contributes:

  • 7 grams of protein
  • 3 grams of fibre and
  • 15% of your daily recommended iron!

Pairing it with the citrusy lemon juice and some savoury garlic makes this sauce a powerhouse of a condiment. Enjoy this on a tofu scramble, shrimp salad, vegetable sides or your favourite sandwich or burger!

Ingredients
 

  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/8 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tbsp water
  • Dash of salt

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mason jar or mug whisk together the tahini, lemon juice and garlic.
  • The lemon juice will quickly thicken the tahini so wait until you are ready to serve the sauce to thin it out with water. Start by adding 1 tbsp of the water and whisking again, followed by 1 tsp at a time until you have reached the desired consistency.
  • Add a dash of salt and serve on top of your chosen dish or alongside it for individual portioning.
