How long will the sauce last?

It will last for two weeks in the fridge in a sealed container, but I'm sure you'll use it faster than that! It does thicken in the fridge so you can mix a little water into it to get it back to a thick, saucy consistency. Start with 1 teaspoon and go from there.

Can I use another herb?

You can! Coriander or basil is also great in this sauce, or you could use baby spinach.

Do I need a food processor for this recipe?

It's definitely a lot quicker and easy with a food processor, but you could just cut up the parsley very finely and mix the sauce by hand. It'll be chunkier and more rustic, but will still taste delicious.

Instructions

Blitz the ingredients. Get 1/2 cup of tahini, ½ cup of chopped parsley leaves, 3 garlic cloves, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of salt into the bowl of your food processor or blender. Blitz until a thick, green paste forms, about 2 minutes.
Slowly drizzle in the water. Scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl, then with the motor running, slowly pour in the water until the consistency starts to change. It’ll turn into a thick, luscious sauce with the consistency of double cream. Taste, season with more salt if needed. Store in a covered container in the fridge for 1 week.

Notes

Mix up your herbs if you like – basil, coriander or even spinach work well in this recipe in place of the parsley – or use a combination of different herbs.

Switch up the consistency of the sauce by adding more or less water – adding more will result in a runnier sauce that works really well tossed through noodles or pasta, and a thicker sauce with less water has a more mayo-like consistency and works well as a dipping sauce.
