Welcome to GG mix and introduction to Tashi dip.

Explain that Tashi is similar to hummus but without chickpeas and with more garlic and lemon.

State that most people use a food processor, but the creator prefers to mix everything in a bowl to avoid washing up.

Measure and set out all ingredients: 150 grams of tahini, 65 mL of lemon juice, 3/4 clove of garlic, pinch of salt, 60 mL of extra virgin olive oil, and 65 mL of water.

Add tahini into the serving bowl.

Mix in lemon juice to reduce bitterness of tahini, noting it will be thick and curdled.

Add minced garlic to the tahini and lemon mixture, mentioning personal preference for less raw garlic.

Add a pinch of salt to enhance flavors.

Stir in water to achieve desired consistency, adjusting for thickness or runniness as preferred.

Mention that Tashi tastes better the next day and should ideally set overnight.

Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for presentation.

Suggest serving with Cypriot seeded bread or other accompaniments.

Encourage viewers to adjust flavors to their taste, such as adding more lemon, garlic, or water as needed.
