Ingredients
- Pear1 medium, about 170 g
- Tahini1 tbsp (15 g)
Weigh it. Tahini is 90 kcal a tablespoon and a heaped spoon is nearer 25 g.
- Lemon juiceA squeeze
- Ground cinnamonA pinch
- SaltA pinch
Method
Stir the tahini in a small bowl with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. It will seize and thicken at first; add cold water half a teaspoon at a time until it loosens to the texture of thick cream.
Quarter the pear, cut out the core and slice each quarter in two lengthways.
Fan the wedges on a plate, dust them with cinnamon and put the tahini alongside for dipping.
Worth knowing
- Tahini seizing when lemon goes in is normal. Keep stirring and adding water and it comes back smooth.
- A firm pear is better here than a soft one. Soft pears collapse against the dip.
