Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 Tablespoons tahini
2 teaspoons finely minced fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic -- or crushed
2 teaspoons pomegranate molasses -- or more to taste
1 teaspoon agave nectar -- or sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt -- or more to taste
5 Tablespoons hot water -- to 6 Tablespoons, or more as needed
Combine the tahini, ginger, garlic, pomegranate molasses, sweetener, and
salt in a small bowl.
Add 5 Tablespoons hot water, mashing it in and then stirring slowly to
thoroughly combine. It may need another tablespoon or more of water. Also,
taste to adjust the salt and molasses. You're aiming for a thick,
drizzling consistency, something that takes its time exiting a spoon. Keep
in mind that the sauce will thicken as it sits, and more hot water may be
needed at serving time.
Serve right away or store tightly-covered in the refrigerator and serve
later. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Optional Enhancement: A generous scattering of pomegranate seeds
blanketing the top is beautiful. If pomegranates are out of season,
consider doing the same with another fruit (chopped, dark cherries come to
mind.)

AuthorNote: Tahini has been successfully blended with lemon, garlic, and
salt forever, and that ancient combination might well be the most proven
sauce of all time. Less well known is tahini's great for ginger and
pomegranate - such a natural trio that I now call it my sesame trifecta.
Try it on broiled-until-tender eggplant, on plain cooked grains such as
bulgur, and dabbed onto Spinach-Basmati Soup with Yogurt (page 45)
The yield is low, but this is concentrated. You can easily multiply the
recipe.
Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator. It will keep for
up to 2 weeks.
