Ingredients

  • 1 small bunch flat-leaf parsley 1oz/25g (weight of the leaves)
  • 1 bunch coriander/cilantro 1oz/25g (weight of the leaves)
  • zest grated from 1 lemon
  • 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup tahini paste 4 tablespoons (70g)
  • 2 small cloves garlic
  • 1 flat teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • a pinch of: ground coriander, cumin, cardamom, and cloves (optional)
  • a pinch of chili flakes optional, to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to a food processor container and mix until the sauce is smooth.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • How to use up the sauce: you can use the sauce the same way to would use a pesto sauce. Use it to make Sabich sandwich, spoon over sandwiches or pizza, add to a salad, use as a dipping sauce for roasted vegetables, fish, chicken or falafel.
  • You can substitute parsley for coriander but I like the sauce best with both, parsley and coriander. You could also add mint leaves.
  • The spices are optional but they elevate the taste of the sauce.
  • Feel free to add more chili flakes if you like spicy dishes.
  • You can thin out the sauce with olive oil or water to make it more 'drizzle-able'.
  • Storage: store the sauce in a tightly-closed container for about 2 days in the fridge. If you want to store it longer, for about 1 week, pour a thin layer of olive oil on top of the sauce, to prevent it from spoiling.
  • Calories = whole recipe = 3/4 cup. This is only an estimate!
