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.
1 garlic clove, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
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.
