I LOVED THIS!!!! The sauce is awesome and the crowns cook up crisp-tender and with way more flavor than you would expect. DH didn't care for it but he isn't a big fan of tahini. The sauce was creamy, salty and slighty bitter - just fabulous!!! Made for ZWT6 by a fellow Looney Spooner but I'll be making it again - SOON!
