TEHINA

======

A typical dish of the Orient brought to Israel by Jewish refugees from the Arab countries. Tehina is a thick dip with sesame seeds as its base. It is

often used as a topping for falafel and other dishes.

Mix tahini, garlic, water, pepper, salt and lemon juice until you get smooth

paste. Add water if tehina is too thick. Serve as a thin layer on a small plate, with a drop or two of olive oil, garnish with pickles.

Sprinkle with

parsley or mix the parsley with the dip.
