Рецепт Clean Eating Tahini Sauce
by Tiffany @ The Gracious Pantry

For a long time, I bought the Tahini Sauce that Trader Joe’s sells. I loved that stuff! You can eat it with crackers or veggies or make delicious hummus with it.

But one day, I managed to actually read the ingredient list (duh!) and found citric acid listed.

I’ve read that people are starting to talk about citric acid being not-so-naturally derived and even the possibility that most citric acid may now be a GMO! I don’t know of any studies to back this up, but until I do find more information, I thought it would be prudent to avoid it for now.

But that left me with a bigger issue… WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT TAHINI?????!!!!

I knew I could make my own, and I knew it wasn’t overly complicated. So with a certain level of confidence, I entered my kitchen and made my first batch. To my dismay, I ended up with a bunch of oily seeds. Not the tahini sauce that I had envisioned.

I lamented pitifully about it on Facebook a few times. And finally, a reader mentioned that you have to blend the seeds while they are hot.

Now this was a tip that I wasn’t going to pass up. Simple things like that can often make a world of difference in a recipe. So I gathered up my courage and tried again. SUCCESS!!!!!

So the moral of the story is, if you can’t figure out what went wrong, complain about it on Facebook. Because somebody will more than likely have an answer for you!
