Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Mash the garlic with the salt on a board into a smooth paste.

  2. 2

    Whisk the tahini, lemon juice, garlic paste and cumin in a bowl. The mix will seize into a stiff paste, which is normal.

  3. 3

    Add the ice water 1 tbsp at a time, whisking after each, until the sauce turns pale, smooth and pourable like heavy cream.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust with more salt or lemon juice. Thin with a splash of water if it is too thick.

  5. 5

    Serve over falafel, roasted vegetables or grilled meat. It keeps in the fridge for 5 days; loosen with a little water before using.
