falafel with tahini sauce

One of the staple ingredients in my kitchen is tahini, a paste made of sesame seeds. Tahini is like a lighter-tasting peanut butter. I use tahini to make dressings, dips, and hummus. To showcase this sauce, I popped some falafel into the toaster oven and stirred up a quick tahini sauce.

tahini sauce:

1/3 c tahini
1 clove of pressed garlic
a drizzle of honey
juice of 1 lime
drizzles of hot water
a pinch of salt
garnished with dill

Loosen up the tahini with drizzles of hot water and some lime or lemon juice, stir in some pressed garlic, honey, and salt. Serve with a generous glob of sriracha.
