Preparation

  • Step 1

    Nick off a piece of the garlic (about a quarter of the clove) and drop it into the bowl of a food processor.

  • Step 2

    Squeeze the lemon juice into the bowl.

  • Step 3

    Pour the tehina on top, making sure to scrape it all out of the container, and add the cumin and salt.

  • Step 4

    Process until the mixture looks peanut buttery, about 1 minute, then stream in the ice water a little at a time with the motor running. Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy and lightens to the color of dry sand. Now you have Quick Tehina Sauce!
