Instructions
- 1
Whisk the grated garlic with the lemon juice and salt in a bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes so the lemon mellows the sharp garlic.
- 2
Add the tahini and whisk vigorously; the mixture will seize and thicken dramatically into a stiff paste, which is exactly what should happen.
- 3
Drizzle in the ice water a tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly, until the sauce loosens and turns smooth, pale, and pourable.
- 4
Continue adding water as needed until the tahini reaches a creamy consistency that coats the back of a spoon, then taste and adjust salt and lemon before serving.
