Lime Tahina

Author Notes

I was doubting if to post this tahina recipe. You don’t start messing with hummus or tahina just like that, people are very touchy about the subject. This tahina recipe involves, raw tahina (sesamepaste), 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, water and lime juice…….what? No! I did not misspell and you did read it right, I would not start swearing like this without a good reason.
Actually it’s not such a good reason. I was out of lemons but was very much in the mood for tahina, when my eye fell on a nice green lime; laying there all innocent and unaware of its fate in my fruit basket. He ended up with the tahina and guess what, lime and tahina became good friends in my bowl. So before you start calling me names, try it out.
