- Steamed broccoli use your preferred method to steam it
- 1/4 cup tahini 1 additional TBSP might be needed after blending
- 1/2 cup water with thick tahini OR 1/3 cup with thinner/runnier/squeezable tahini
- 1 TBSP high quality olive oil this will allow it to be more pourable day after too
- 1/2 lemon to start more if desired after blending
- 1 tsp turmeric powder don't go over - stick to 1 tsp
- 1/4 tsp sea salt adjust to taste
- ground pepper I turn my pepper mill 10 times
Add all sauce ingredients to a small blender and blend until smooth. Now taste it. I'll forewarn you now, it's a shocking taste for the taste-buds at first, but taste it again a second time to really see if it needs anything. A pinch more of salt, a small squeeze of lemon, more tahini? Tahini's vary and so do the tartness of lemons, so you might not need anything. If you want it a bit thicker or want to tone down the turmeric, add an extra TBSP of tahini and blend again. Pour over that steamed broccoli now and you'll see how they are a match. :) Pause, take a few deep breaths, say a short gratitude prayer, and ENJOY!This makes about 1 cup, store any remaining sauce in a glass mason jar. Use up within 3-4 days. Tahini thickens as it sits so you may need to stir before using again. If it's too thick I add a bit of cold water and mix with a fork the next day.
