Ingredients

• 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Start by peeling and finely mincing the garlic clove. Also, grate about a teaspoon of fresh ginger using a microplane or the fine side of a grater.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the minced garlic and grated ginger with the coconut milk. Stir gently until the mixture begins to simmer. This should take about 3-4 minutes and will help infuse the flavors.

Step 3

Once the coconut milk mixture is simmering, lower the heat and add the fresh lime juice, coconut aminos, and tahini. Use a whisk to blend everything together smoothly.

Step 4

Continue whisking the sauce occasionally as it simmers for an additional minute or two, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in sea salt, black pepper, and chili flakes to taste. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 6

Let the sauce cool slightly before transferring it to a serving bowl or jar.

Step 7

Finely chop the fresh cilantro and stir it into the sauce just before serving.

Step 8

This creamy coconut sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
