Ingredients

500 grams silverbeet with stalks chopped
5 garlic cloves
4-6 tablespoons lemon juice
½ cup tahini (hulled)
salt to season
¾ tablespoon sweet chilli sauce
1 tablespoon hot sauce
cold water as required – see Cook’s note

Notes from Rouba

You can substitute greek yogurt for tahini
Keep in mind that the quality of tahini can vary with different brands so it’s best to add the water gradually.
Hulled or Unhulled Tahini – What’s the difference?

Method

Step 1

Coarsely chop the silverbeet

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add chopped silverbeet. Cook until softened approximately 15-20 minutes.

When tender, but not too soft, drain.

Step 2.

Add crushed garlic, tahini, lemon, and tender silverbeet to a bowl, using a hand blender, blend until somewhat fine but still rustic.

Add sweet chili and hot sauce and water as required for a sauce consistency. Stir well to combine.

If the sauce is too thick, simply add some water to thin it out.
