Delicious and very easy to prepare. If you like a milder, and less salty taste, try mellow white or yellow miso instead of red. The tahini can be replaced with roasted soya nut butter if you want a double dose of soya.

Ingredients

2 Tbsp (30g) red miso

3 Tbsp (45g) toasted sesame tahini or soya nut butter

1 Tbsp (15mL) water or stock

A squirt of fresh lemon juice optional

1/4 tsp (0.5g) ground ginger or 1/2 tsp (3mL) fresh ginger

Juice from grated ginger root

1 clove garlic, pressed

1 Tbsp (10g) slivered scallion greens or chives

Directions

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients.

Spread on artisan bread, such as sweet potato bread, and serve with soup.

Note: Keeps, covered, in the refrigerator 1 to 2 weeks.
