If you add too much water and the sauce is runny. simply add a little more tahini. The tahini absorbs quite a bit of water so just a tad extra tahini should thicken it back up.
You can omit the roasted shallot and garlic.
This works best with a Magic Bullet Blender.
Optionally dust with paprika, cumin or cayenne and a sprig of parsley before serving.
