Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

2 Garlic cloves 1 Lemon; juiced
Salt 1/2 c -Water
3/4 c Tahini 1/2 ts Ground cumin
1 tb White vinegar 1/2 c Chopped parsley

Crush garlic cloves with 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Place tahini in mixing bowl and beat well. This preliminary beating
reduces the strong flavour of the tahini.

Beat in garlic and vinegar. Gradually add lemon juice alternately with
water. To make a cream salad of good consistency add enough lemon juice to
make the tahini very thick before adding water. This way you have more
scope in adjusting the flavour and consistency of the sauce.

Add salt to taste, and more lemon juice if a sharper sauce is required.
Blend in cumin and parsley and chill until required. Serve as a mazza or
as directed in recipes.

Makes about 1 3/4 cups
