This sauce is East meets West: the salty character of Italian capers mixes with the distinct, toasted flavour of Far Eastern sesame oil. A true 'umami bomb' that turns the simplest green salad or steamed chicken breast into an exciting dish. Thick, creamy, and full of texture thanks to the crunchy seeds.

⚠️ Sesame

Instructions

1 ✓

In a dry frying pan, without fat, toast the sesame seeds over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Let cool.

Tip: Toasting roasts the oils within the seeds, giving a much more intense, nutty flavour. Watch out, they burn easily!
2 ✓

Finely chop the capers. Grate the garlic. Squeeze the lime juice.

Tip: The smaller the capers, the better the salty taste distributes in every bite.
3 ✓

In a bowl, whisk the sesame oil, lime juice, and honey until smooth.

Tip: Sesame oil has a very dominant flavour, so we use it as a 'spice', not cooking oil.
4 ✓

Add the garlic, capers, salt, pepper, and water. Whisk until frothy.

Tip: Water helps form the emulsion and adjusts the desired thickness.
5 ✓

Finally, stir in the toasted sesame seeds. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Tip: During this time, the sesame seeds absorb a little flavour but stay crunchy.

Recipe FAQ

Why add water?
The sesame oil and honey mixture can be very intense. Water loosens the structure making it more pourable.
Can I use tahini (sesame paste)?
Yes, it makes it even creamier, but the flavour will be more intense.
