1 medium clove garlic
kosher salt
3 tbsp. tahini
3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
pinch ground cumin
2 tsp. toasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Peel the garlic clove and chop it finely.  Sprinkle the chopped garlic with a pinch of salt and then use the flat side of your knife to repeatedly scrape the garlic against the cutting board, mashing it into a paste.  Transfer the garlic paste to a small bowl and add the tahini.  Whisk to blend.  Gradually whisk in the lemon juice; at first the tahini will thicken, but as you add more lemon juice it will begin to loosen.  Once all of the lemon juice is added, whisk in water 1/2 tbsp. at a time until you reach the consistency of a creamy sauce.  Stir in the cumin and more salt to taste.

Drizze the sauce over steamed/BBQ’d vegetables and sprinkle with the sesame seeds (optional).
