Broccoli & Tahini Sauce

January, 2020

I was inspired by lunch at Ottolenghi to create this really easy side dish. The tahini and yoghurt sauce pairs perfectly with the crispy broccoli. 

Broccoli & Tahini Sauce

3. Add remaining oil in the pan and cook garlic until crispy (be careful not to burn)

4. In a small bowl combine yoghurt, tahini and water and mix until smooth
