How to use up the sauce: you can use the sauce the same way to would use a pesto sauce. Use it to make Sabich sandwich, spoon over sandwiches or pizza, add to a salad, use as a dipping sauce for roasted vegetables, fish, chicken or falafel.
You can substitute parsley for coriander but I like the sauce best with both, parsley and coriander. You could also add mint leaves.
The spices are optional but they elevate the taste of the sauce.
Feel free to add more chili flakes if you like spicy dishes.
You can thin out the sauce with olive oil or water to make it more 'drizzle-able'.
Storage: store the sauce in a tightly-closed container for about 2 days in the fridge. If you want to store it longer, for about 1 week, pour a thin layer of olive oil on top of the sauce, to prevent it from spoiling.
