Sometimes going by the fact that you really like the taste of two things individually, and assuming they will compliment each other in a recipe, can turn out very badly. This is not true for everyone- sometimes it is a matter of taste. Like ketchup sandwiches. Or deep-fried Mars Bars. Lots of people object, yet some people worship those combos.
This basil-tahini union turned out to be one of those instances where I think more people will agree to their happy alliance. Unlike cucumber and peanut butter. Am I wrong?
Creamy Basil Tahini Sauce
Ingredients
1/2 cup fresh basil
1/4 cup (GF CF TF) vegetable stock
Juice of 1 lemon, or approximately 1/4 cup
1 tsp white vinegar
1/2 cup tahini
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a food processor (mixing bowl or small container, if you have a hand blender). Blend until completely smooth. Serve as a sauce for roasted or stuffed vegetables, rice or falafels. You could additionally add 1-2 tbsp of olive oil and use as a salad dressing. Yields 1 cup.
