Green Tahini Sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and quartered
- 3/4 cup fresh parsley, small sprigs (no stems)
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, small stems (yes leaves)
- 5 -8 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup tahini paste, stirred to blend in the oil
- 3 -4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- kosher salt
- cayenne pepper (optional)
- In a food processor, pulse garlic a few times to mince; add parsley and cilantro and pulse to chop.
- Add 1/4 cup water and puree mixture (if it is not enough volume to puree you can add a tablespoon of water or a spoonful of the tahini paste).
- Place the tahini paste in a bowl and stir in the puree, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1 tablespoon water; it should be thinner than mayonnaise, if not, add more lemon juice or water (depending on how tart you want it).
- Taste and add salt or more lemon juice; sprinkle with cayenne pepper if desired.
- NOTE: This sauce will thicken when refrigerated, so you may wish to stir in a little water to thin out.
