Ingredients

  1. 5 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
  2. 1/3 cup tahini

  7. 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  8. 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley 

Directions

  1. In a blender, puree the garlic with the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, water, salt and pepper until smooth. If the sauce appears thick, add a little more water. Scrape the sauce into a bowl, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.
