Herby Green Bean & Tahini Sauce

I love having a tasty sauce as part of my weekly meal prep routine; it takes 5 minutes but then it’s ready in my fridge for whatever I want to throw it on. This is a creamy, plant-based sauce with plenty of hidden fibre and a nice bit of protein that instantly levels up whatever I put it on. I put on wraps and sandwiches, I serve roasted veg over it, I drizzle it onto my baked potatoes… the opportunities are endless!

INGREDIENTS

Pre-cooked butter beans (jarred or tinned)

Tahini (sesame paste)

Garlic

Lemon juice

Parsley

Mint (or dill, or coriander)

TIPS & NOTES

This is a really easy recipe, so I only have a couple of notes! I recommend using parsley as a mild herb, but the mint can be swapped for more parsley, or you can replace the mint with coriander, dill or rocket. I wouldn’t recommend basil because it browns so easily! The reason for the flexibility on how much water to use is because tahini does vary in its consistency, so start with a smaller amount and adjust to get this sauce to the desired thickness. My Herby Green Bean & Tahini Sauce will keep in the fridge for up to a week.
