Recipe for Tahini Dip and Spread with Green Herbs
Taste a bite of paradise with my Green Herb Tahini Spread & Dip, a delicious blend of raw spinach or kale, aromatic garlic, and tart lime juice. Perfectly crafted with the best raw tahini and a mix of fresh herbs, such as basil and parsley, every bite is bursting with flavor. Just process the ingredients until they are beautifully creamy, adding a little water or olive oil as needed to alter the consistency. This spread is delicious and versatile; it can be used to spice up your sandwiches, dip crisp vegetables, or give grains like quinoa or rice a taste boost. To enjoy its freshness, keep it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks; though you will not believe how short it is going to last because of how delicious it is.
Dark Chocolate Tahini Spread or Dip (75% Cacao)
Savor the rich delight of this 75% Cacao Tahini Spread or Dip, which combines the rich, nuanced tastes of 75% cacao dark chocolate with the velvety smoothness of raw tahini. This rich mixture, which is perfectly melted and combined with a touch of pure cacao powder, gives a sophisticated and delicious symphony. For a creamy texture, drizzle with water and olive oil. Then, fold in the gritty cacao nibs for more texture and depth. This delicious spread may be used to enhance any meal, whether it is spread over toast, dipped in fruit, or mixed into oatmeal. Its lusciousness will last for up to two weeks in the refrigerator, although it will most likely not last more than a couple of days.
Green Herb Tahini Dip Recipe
Ingredients
-
12g raw kale
raw spinach or chard
- 400g raw tahini
- 2 garlic cloves
- pinch sea salt
- juice from 1 lime
- 4oz water
raw spinach or chard- 2/3 cup olive oil
- 2oz water
- 2/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cup fresh basil, chopped
- sea salt & pepper to taste
Steps
Step 1
Place all the ingredients under “Blend” into a food processor or high-powered blender. A food processor is preferred since removing all the ingredients from the blender once processed is easier.
Step 2
Place the food processor on low speed and slowly pour olive oil (in a single stream) until well incorporated and creamy.
Note: if the consistency is not where you want it, slowly drizzle 1oz – 2oz of water (or more) as it processes until it is smooth.
Step 3
Add herbs and pulse blend until well incorporated and creamy. Season to taste with sea salt & pepper and pulse blend again.
Step 4
Enjoy immediately or place in the fridge to chill. Enjoy as a spread for sandwiches, dipping sauce, a flavor enhancer for things like rice or quinoa, and ANYTHING else you’d like to use it on. It’s that darn good!
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for no more than 2 weeks (but I doubt it will last that long). Or, place it in an airtight container in the freezer and store it for up to 3 months.
