2 cloves garlic

2 tsp giardiniera liquid

3 TBLs fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup tahini 

salt and pepper to taste

water to get your consistency you like

Put first 7 ingredients in the blender or food processor and blend. Add water until you like the consistency. 

Taste and add salt and pepper.

Makes 3 eight ounce jars but one jar was overflowing because I freeze 2 of them. Or eat them. 

PRINTALBE RECIPE

I USED THIS HOT MIX. GIARDINIERA IS JUST ITALIAN PICKLED VEGETABLES. IT DIDN'T MAKE IT THAT SPICY.

I USED MY NUTRIBULLET. BUT YOU CAN USE A FOOD PROCESSOR
