Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cloves garlic -- chopped
Coarse sea salt
1 1/2 cups shelled walnuts -- chopped
4 tablespoons tahini
2 fat lemons -- juice only
1 tablespoon boiling water -- to 2 T.
1 Large handful chopped parsley

Pound the garlic with a generous pinch of salt for 30 seconds, add the walnuts and continue pounding to make a chunky paste. Blend in the tahini and the lemon juice, then the boiling water, stirring well until smooth. Stir through the parsley and thin with a little more water if you like.

Or, whack the first 5 ingredients in a food processor and whiz away, stopping just short of a smooth paste. You may need to add a little warm water to get things moving around the blade nicely, but you want some texture here. Stir through the parsley. Keeps well in the fridge, but bring it back to room temperature before eating.

Serve with oven-warmed pita breads; a bunch or two of red radishes, quartered; hot, doctored falafels; shredded lettuce and some thick plain yoghurt.

Makes 1 3/4 cups (about 7 one-quarter cup servings)

A chunky, robust Southern Turkish sauce from Roden's New Book of Middle Eastern Food. Perfect for dipping crisp, raw veg into and slathering on falafels. You can make your own, and sometimes I do, but it's just as easy to go out and buy a dry falafel mix and doctor it with huge handfuls of finely chopped coriander and parsley.
