Green Tahini – 5 ingredients + 5 minutes = the best sauce

Green Tahini wants to be your new favorite condiment. It’s simple to make, only requires a handful of ingredients (5, not counting salt and water), and is good on So. Many. Things. I whipped up a batch for my Lamb Koftas (recipe coming soon, cooking class is coming up) and found myself tasting it over and over because I couldn’t stop eating it.

What’s Green Tahini good on? Oh, just about everything.

Roasted veggies. Lamb Burgers. Chicken Shawarma. On a mezze platter with hummus and baba ghanoush and flatbread and olives. Just make up a batch, you won’t regret it!

This green tahini only requires 5 ingredients, plus water and salt:

• tahini
• lemon juice
• parsley
• cilantro
• garlic

And all you have to do to make up a batch? Throw it all in a blender or food processor or use a jar with an immersion blender. Easy peasy.
