Tahini and Cumin Dressing

This is a versatile dressing: use to dress a roasted vegetable salad or toss through a couscous salad or chickpea salad; add chopped coriander and spoon over grilled chicken or fish; add some thick plain yoghurt or use as a dipping sauce with chargrilled vegetables.

½ teaspoon ground cumin

2 cloves garlic, crushed

juice of ½ a lemon

1 tablespoon tahini

½ teaspoon sesame oil

2 teaspoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

100 ml olive oil

sea salt and freshly ground pepper

 

Put the cumin, garlic, lemon juice, tahini, sesame oil, soy and the sesame seeds in a food processor and blend. With the motor running, drizzle in the oil to form an emulsion. Season.
