Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 jalapeño pepper
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 cups full fat yogurt can be subbed with low-fat but won't be as creamy
  • 1/3 cup tahini paste stirred

Instructions

  • Begin by preparing the jalapeño and garlic. Remove the stems and seeds from the jalapeño, and cut it into quarters to make it easier to blend.
    1 jalapeño pepper
  • User a mortar and pestle to blend the jalapeño and garlic together until they become soft and form a paste. The salt can be added during this step to help break down the ingredients and enhance the flavor.

  • Once the jalapeño and garlic have been properly blended, transfer them to a food processor or blender.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor: 2 cups of yogurt and 1/3 cup of tahini paste.
    2 cups full fat yogurt, 1/3 cup tahini paste
  • Blend all the ingredients together in the food processor until a smooth and creamy consistency is achieved. This should take a few minutes, depending on the power of the machine.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or tahini if desired.
  • Once the sauce reaches the desired consistency and flavor, transfer it to a serving bowl.
  • Refrigerate the sauce for a while to allow the flavors to meld, and serve it chilled. Alternatively, serve the sauce immediately, or store it for up to a week in the fridge.
  • Enjoy this creamy yogurt sauce with a hint of jalapeño and tahini as a delicious accompaniment to chips, fresh vegetables, or as a flavorful sauce for various dishes.
