Ingredients:

• 150 ml (¼ pint) tahini paste

• Juice of 2 lemons

• 300 ml (½ pint) milk

• 2 cloves garlic, crushed

• 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped

• 1 teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon chili pepper

• 50 g (2 oz) white breadcrumbs

  
  

Garnish:

• 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped

• ½ teaspoon cumin

  
  

Instructions:

1. Mix Tahini and Lemon Juice: Start by pouring the tahini paste into a bowl. Add the fresh lemon juice and stir. The mixture will be quite thick at this point, but don't worry—it's the perfect base for the dip.

2. Add Milk for Creaminess: Gradually pour in the milk, stirring continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. The milk helps to loosen the tahini, creating a velvety texture perfect for dipping.

3. Season and Flavor: Add the crushed garlic, chili pepper, salt, and finely chopped parsley. Stir everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning to suit your preferences, adding more salt or lemon juice if desired.

4. Incorporate the Breadcrumbs: Gently fold in the breadcrumbs. This adds a lovely texture to the dip, giving it a bit of body while still keeping it light and creamy.

5. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Sprinkle the top with the remaining parsley and a pinch of cumin for an extra flavor boost and a touch of color.

6. Storage Tip: This dip can be covered and stored in the fridge for several days. If it thickens up over time, simply whisk in a little more milk to bring it back to a smooth, creamy consistency.
