Tahini sauce with garlic for kebabs is a delightful addition that gives meat a rich nutty flavor with spicy notes of garlic and a refreshing tang of lemon. This sauce originates from Syria, where tahini – ground sesame paste – is widely used in traditional cuisine. Its simplicity and rich taste make it an indispensable companion for kebabs as well as other meat and vegetable dishes. Tahini provides a creamy texture to the sauce, garlic adds depth, and lemon juice balances the flavor. This sauce can be used as a marinade, dip, or salad dressing, adding an Eastern touch to them.
