I make tahini dressing by mixing some tahini with lemon juice until you have a
mayonnaise like consistency. Add some garlic or herbs for extra taste.

Why not make you own hummous to top your falafels?

I make large batches and freeze in containers

Soak and cook 500 g chick peas

Blend in batches in a liquidiser of food processor with:

juice of about 3 lemons
5 cloves of garlic
few tbs olive oil
1 tbs cumin seeds

After processing stir in a few tbs of tahini (my blender is not strong enough
to cope with the tahini as well)

Hope this helps,

Karin
