~Salatet Te7hina~ (Sesame Paste Salad) The #1 salad in Egyptian salads. It is easy, cheap and forms the basis of a lot of other dishes. It is served with everything and is a must in the Egyptian kitchen. You will find it in Oriental/Middle East speciality shops. Excellent for veggies. ~Ingredients~ 1 cup tehina ½ cup lemon juice 2 tbsp vinegar 6 cloves garlic crushed pinch of cumin some water, depending on quality of tehina salt, pepper and paprika to taste Add a little water gradually to tehina while stirring constantly to dilute it. Add lemon juice and vinegar. Mixture should be thick and creamy. Remember that a thin, runny tehina is a failed one. In mortar, paste garlic, salt, pepper, paprika and cumin. Add to tehina and mix very well to obtain a lump-free smooth mixture. Put in a bowl and sprinkle with a very thin film of corn oil, without mixing, and a pinch of cumin. Yields 1-2 cups.
