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.
