Serves: 8
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup tahini (sesame paste)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon maple syrup (or agave syrup)
1/4 cup water (or as needed for consistency)
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Blend the Mango

Place the chopped mango in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.

2. Add the Other Ingredients

Add tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, maple syrup, salt, and pepper to the blender with the mango. Blend again until everything is well combined into a smooth sauce.

3. Adjust the Consistency

If the sauce is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency. It should be creamy but pourable.

4. Taste and Adjust

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more maple syrup for sweetness, lemon juice for tang, or salt and pepper to balance the flavors.

5. Serve

Drizzle the mango shawarma sauce over your favorite vegan shawarma, roasted vegetables, falafel, or veggie bowls. It also works great as a dip!

Tips:

Sweetness Level: If you want a sweeter sauce, feel free to add a little more maple syrup or even a splash of orange juice for extra fruitiness.
Spices: Adjust the spices to your taste. If you like a bit of heat, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
Storage: Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir before serving.

This Vegan Mango Shawarma Sauce adds a refreshing and tropical twist to your meals. The creamy sweetness from the mango combined with the warmth of the spices creates a perfect balance that will elevate your dishes and satisfy your taste buds!
