Tahini Sauce Recipe

Thick and hearty sauce–great on Stuffed Cabbage, Vegetable Pasties, and Patties (Rice, Millet, or Tofu).

Sauté in a pot until onions are golden:
    3 tablespoons canola or sunflower oil
    1 small onion, minced
    2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated

Add:
    1/3 cup raw tahini
    1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
    2 tablespoons tamari or Bragg Liquid Aminos
    1 tablespoon maple syrup
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Stir with a wooden spoon and simmer for 5 minutes. Blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Add salt to taste. Before serving, mix into the sauce:
    1/4 cup fresh parsley or fresh dill, minced

Variation:
After blending all the ingredients in food processor, add 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms that have been sautéed in olive oil.
