Cooking this one?

Add it to your shopping list and keep looking. The list adds the quantities up across everything you pick.

Method

  1. Stir the miso into the tahini in a small bowl. It seizes and thickens, which is normal.

  2. Add the vinegar, then water a teaspoon at a time, stirring, until it loosens into a smooth paste that drops off the spoon.

  3. Cut the cucumber and carrot into batons, scatter the sesame seeds over the dip and eat.

Worth knowing

  • The dip looks wrong when the miso goes in. Keep adding water a teaspoon at a time and it turns glossy.
  • Tahini is 600 kcal per 100 g, the same as peanut butter. Fifteen grams is the honest tablespoon and 8 g of fat.
