Green tahini
Creamy tahini.
If you love tahini you’ll agree that there’s very little it doesn’t go with… it’s a creamy sesame paste which has a fabulously luxurious texture and a faintly bitter edge. It’s savoury and moreish, and adds a lovely layer of satiating, healthy fat to so many vegcentric meals. Everything feels more delicious and more substantial with tahini drizzled on top!
Heathy, vegcentric, delicious!
This green tahini is a dressing/sauce hybrid that is quick and easy to make, and fantastic to have on standby in the fridge; it can jazz up the simplest of dishes to delectable new heights… even a simple bowl of wholegrain rice with chickpeas and roasted veggies becomes a delight with a few spoonfuls of green tahini.
In the photo here we’ve dolloped it on top of some juicy tomatoes and toasted sourdough (a firm favourite last summer), along with the ULTIMATE flavour hack, a little sprinkle of flavour magic: Dukkah.
Much like dukkah, and all our flavour hacks, a batch of green tahini will stand you in great stead for quick and delicious weeknight meals, ones that are far far more complex and tasty than their speedy nature might otherwise dictate.
Simple suppers don’t have to be boring!
This recipe makes 6 generous servings and it will last in the fridge for 1 week.

Method:
Rinse the herbs if needs be, and top + tail the onions then roughly chop.
