Green Tahini (a.k.a. T'hina)

This is the way an Israeli taught me how to make it. And it's delicious.

Ingredients:

tahini / t'hina
juice of a quarter of a lemon
garlic
cilantro
salt
pepper

Directions:

1. Put a few spoonfuls of tahini in a small mixing bowl. Add lemon juice and stir.
2. Very slowly add cold water to the tahini, stirring madly while doing so. Stop when the tahini is creamy and still somewhat stiff. You don't want it to get too watery.
3. Add garlic and chopped cilantro.
4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Eat with flatbread baked with Za'atar!
