Creamy avocado & tahini dip

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Sauces and Gravies
What happens when Mexican guacamole meets Middle Eastern hummus? This creamy, nutty dip. The oiliness of the avocado and the bitter, earthy taste of the sesame paste (tahini) form a perfect pair. This is not just a sauce, but 'superfood' category due to the abundance of unsaturated fatty acids.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Dry frying pan: For toasting the sesame seeds (this brings out their oil).

Allergen Information

⚠️ Sesame

Instructions

1 ✓

Toast the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for a few minutes until golden brown. Keep shaking it!

Tip: Under heat, the oils in the seeds activate, resulting in a much more intense, nuttier flavour.
2 ✓

Scrape the flesh of the avocado into a bowl and immediately sprinkle with the lemon juice.

Tip: The Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in lemon juice acts as an antioxidant to slow down the browning process.
3 ✓

Add the crushed garlic, tahini, olive oil and salt. Blend with a fork or stick blender.

Tip: Tahini tends to thicken the cream because it absorbs a lot of moisture.
4 ✓

Gradually add the cold water until you reach the desired fluffy consistency. Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds when serving.

Tip: Cold water helps emulsify the oil content of the tahini, making the cream lighter and fluffier.

Recipe FAQ

The top of the cream has browned, is it edible?
Yes, this is just oxidation (like with a cut apple). Stir it, or scrape off the top. Lemon juice and foil help to prevent this.
What should I do if the tahini has separated in the jar?
This is natural. Mix the oil thoroughly with the thick part before use.
