Tahini-Miso Sauce

Tahini-Miso Sauce
Description
This sauce, a longtime mainstay of hippie health food restaurants, has a remarkable ability to transform even the simplest plate of steamed vegetables into a nutritious feast. Thick, sour, salty, probiotic, and full of umami, this sesame-miso sauce benefits everything from your heart to your gut, blood sugar levels, and your immunity.
Note: Make sure the tahini is thoroughly homogenized before using; if oil has separated, stir it back in.
