Step by Step Method
Step 1
Place tahini and lemon juice in a blender and blend for a few moments, then transfer to a bowl. (I would use an immersion blender here.).

Add garlic, parsley, onion, eggs, salt and pepper, and stir gently until well mixed.
Step 3
Sprinkle with paprika or sumac and serve.
Step 4
You could try this in a pita, wrapped in lettuce leaves, or served as a dip with pita chips and veggies.
