Notes

1. Storage - Kept in the fridge, this garlic sauce will keep for up to 3 days. Keep in mind that the longer the sauce sits for, the stronger the garlic flavour will be.
2. Tahini - This sesame paste adds a subtle nutty flavour to this sauce but feel free to leave it out if you'd prefer.
3. Yoghurt - Make sure to use Greek yoghurt for this sauce, for the best flavour & texture.
