This glaze whisks tahini and honey into a silky sauce brightened with lemon juice and garlic. Drizzle it over roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or falafel for a creamy, tangy finish. It comes together in minutes with no cooking required.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup tahini
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup warm water, plus more as needed
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, finely grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 0 pinch of cayenne pepper, to taste

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini and honey until smooth and well combined.

  2. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, grated garlic, cumin, and salt, whisking continuously; the mixture will seize and thicken.

  3. Gradually whisk in the warm water, a tablespoon at a time, until the glaze is smooth and pourable.

  4. Taste and add cayenne pepper, adjusting salt and lemon juice as needed; thin with additional water for a thinner consistency.

  5. Transfer the glaze to a jar or airtight container and let it rest 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
