TAHINI ONION SAUCE

This is a simple all-purpose tahini-based sauce or gravy. It is best made with a natural unhulled tahini (sesame paste) for a richer, nuttier flavour.

INGREDIENTS

Two tablespoons of unhulled tahini
One whole onion, chopped
One tablespoon soy sauce
A little vegetable stock
A little oil

METHOD

In a saucepan add the oil, bring to heat and add the chopped onion. Saute until translucent.
Turn down the heat to very low. Add the tahini, stirring it into the onion base.
Add the soy sauce. The tahini will thicken. Keep stirring.
Dribble vegetable stock in, still stirring, until it reaches a gravy consistency.
Garnish with Italian or Chinese parsley.

This can be poured over all manner of dishes as a gravy or it can be used as a dipping sauce.
