Let me start by applauding this spicy-sweet-savory sauce for re-establishing my belief in pure magic. It's as dynamic as it is versatile, and doesn't even require the heavy kitchen artillery (for example, a food processor or blender). All you need is a bowl, a whisk, and the following essential ingredients to get totally lost in the sauce:

SOOM TAHINI

Nutty, creamy, and deeply savory, Soom Tahini is made from 100% roasted and pressed Ethiopian White Humera sesame seeds. Its texture is unctuous and supremely smooth (similar to that of a loose nut butter) and flavor is rich with nuanced bitterness. Additionally, Soom Tahini is a great source of plant-based calcium, iron, and heart-healthy fats.

SOOM SILAN DATE SYRUP

This all-natural date syrup is made from 100% steamed and pressed dates, and boasts a rich, caramel-like sweetness. Soom Silan is lower on the glycemic index scale than honey and maple syrup, plus has almost 4x the potassium and 8x the fiber. Additionally, it’s a rich source of other essential nutrients, including calcium, magnesium, manganese, and iron.

CHILI GARLIC SAUCE

This Asian condiment is a lively blend of coarsely ground chilies, garlic, vinegar, and salt. It adds just a touch of heat and rich complexity to sauces and marinades, plus a beautiful red-orange hue. Chili-garlic sauce is available in Asian markets and in the Asian section of most supermarkets.

SHERRY VINEGAR

I think we can agree that all dynamite sauces employ the use of acid to bring them to life. Sherry vinegar is more complex than apple cider or red wine vinegar, and offers a clean brightness.

CURRY POWDER

It may seem like the wildcard ingredient here, but curry powder offers addictive, aromatic flavor that gives the sauce well-rounded depth. Use either regular curry powder or Madras-style, which packs a little more heat.

What to Eat with Tahini Sauce:

In short, pretty much anything you can think of will be elevated with this sauce. For example, grilled chicken or shrimp skewers, burgers, grain bowls, roasted vegetables, and even flatbread pizzas. Alternatively, you could thin it out and use it as a dressing to anchor a bowl of salad greens.
