Tarator bi Tahina Recipe-March 2024
Mar 31, 2026 5:54 AM

  A ubiquitous sauce in Syria and Lebanon, served with fried and grilled fish as well as with cold fish.

  

Ingredients

makes about 3 cups

  1 cup tahina

  1/4–1/2 cup lemon juice, or more

  1–1 1/2 cups water

  1/2 teaspoon cumin

  Salt

  2–4 cloves garlic, crushed

  3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley (optional)

  

Step 1

Blend the tahina with the lemon juice and water in the food processor. The paste will stiffen at first and then become smooth. Add enough water to achieve a light cream. Add cumin, season to taste with salt, and beat in the garlic.

  

Step 2

Pour over cold fish or serve in a separate bowl. Garnish with parsley, if you like.
