• 4 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

2. Place the toasted seeds in a food processor and grind until fine.
3. Add the garlic and salt then pulse again.
4. While the food processor is running, add handfuls of arugula and parsley through the top opening of the machine.
5. Keep adding as these get blended in until all of the greens are incorporated.
6. Pour the oil through the top opening and continue blending.
7. You might have to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the food processor.
8. Add more salt or oil to reach your desired flavor, then scoop the sauce into a jar, it will keep for about a week.
