Instead of crushing the toasted sesame seeds, blend them whole into Tahini, along with soy sauce and vinegar. Easier, faster, and increased density of flavor. -
Fabulous string beans, Tish! I didn't have a mortar so put half the seeds in the grinder for just a second and left the other half as is. I just love the fact that there's this much protein in my veggies, especially because I don't eat meat. The soy and vinegar gave it lots of flavor. I used rice wine vinegar and maybe next time I'll try reducing the vinegar a bit because I'm trying to watch my sodium intake. I don't think it would hurt this recipe a bit. Thanks for the great recipe!

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
