Reviews
This is a great starting recipe. I added a tsp of ground cumin and 2 tsp of spicy chili crisp to make a great mildly spicy and more flavourful version.
Too much tahini and water. Next time, I’ll probably do 3 Tbs of tahini and 3 Tbs water. I’d also add more lemon juice. This is a nice base recipe that you definitely have to adjust to the taste and texture you like.
Super easy, I shortened the amount of tahini to 3.5 oz. My husband loved it!
Easy and super tasty
Very creamy, but Bland with an overpowering taste of tahini.
