This simple sauce is a beautiful fusion of some of our favorite cuisines. It draws influence from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines with the use of creamy tahini. And it’s also inspired by North African cuisine with the inclusion of harissa. Follow the links to learn more about the origins of these versatile and flavorful ingredients. Making the sauce is as easy as whisking together the tahini and harissa with a generous amount of lemon juice for acidity, smoked paprika for a hint of smokiness, and salt to enhance all the flavors. Then just thin with water until it transforms into a saucy consistency perfect for pretty much everything! We hope you LOVE this sauce! It’s:BrightTangySmokySavoryCreamy& SO Versatile!
