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.

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.
