- 1 1/3 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon tamari sauce (or low sodium soy sauce)
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1/2 cup tahini

How to Make
-
Step 1: Melt butter over low heat, saute onion until translucent (about 5-8 minutes).

Step 3: Over the lowest heat, whisk in the flour a little at a time. Cook it for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, adding only a drop or two of water if it's getting clumpy.

Step 4: Add tahini and whisk for another few minutes, still on the lowest heat setting.
-
Step 5: Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 10 - 15 min over low heat. Adjust seasonings to your taste after it's simmered for at least 5 min.
