Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup prepared sesame tahini (paste)
3 cloves garlic -- put through a press or finely minced
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup ice water

Put the tahini and garlic in a bowl, and using a whisk or electric beater,
mix well.
Still beating, add the lemon juice, salt, and 1/2 cup of the water.
Continue beating, and add 1 tablespoon of the remaining water at a time,
until the mixture is the consistency of thick mayonnaise. It may not be
necessary to add all the water, or it may take a little more, to achieve
the proper consistency.
Store refridgerated in a jar, and use as directed in other recipes.

Makes about 1-1/2 cups

ChupaNote: to add another layer of flavor, substitute the water with
chilled broth or stock, I've also used Spicy V8 for another consistency
and flavor altogether.
