Miso Tahini Dip



Miso Tahini Dip

Great as a dip for raw veggies. You can add a little more water and use it as a sauce for steamed vegetables and brown rice too. Tahini offers fat and protein - which helps keep you full for longer periods of time along with reducing cravings for other foods.

Puree the following in a blender:
  • 1/2 cup sesame tahini
  • 2 tablespoons brown rice syrup (or 1 tablespoon honey)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce, shoyu, or tamari
  • 2 teaspoons mustard
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sweet white miso (optional)
  • dash cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons to 1/2 cup water - depending on if you want to make a dip or a sauce.
