Arabic Sesame Sauce..AKA Tahini

This is a great sauce that is so versatile! Just about everyone in the Middle East has their own version of this but the bas is the same. I use this to make hummus, over baked fish, with grilled meats...just about anything. You can add fresh garlic, the woman that taught me hated garlic so out of tribute to Shuli, I don't put it in mine. It is NOT no-carb but VERY low in carbs.
