Notes

1. Tahini – sesame sauce used in hummus. Use hulled, not unhulled (more bitter). Tahini oil separates in the jar so give it a really good mix with a butter knife before using. If it’s hard to mix together (some brands are better than others – I like Mayver’s) you can also give it a quick zap in the microwave for 20 seconds to warm it up, makes it much easier to mix. Last resort – blitz with stick blender.

2. Water thins the sauce so it can be drizzled. It doesn’t dilute flavour – tahini is very intense!

3. Lemon is the acidity here. Substitute with (in order of preference): sherry vinegar, red or white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar.

4. White pepper is invisible in the sauce, black pepper leaves specks. Visual difference only!

Keeps 3 days in the fridge (bring to room temp to use).
