Quick & easy to make. Creamy sauce complements crunchy broccoli. Flavor needed a little more zest, so we added crushed red pepper and a pinch of salt.

This recipe originally comes from "Vegan Planet" by Robin Robertson. The original recipe calls for the juice and zest of one lemon, with the zest added in at the end with the sesame seeds. The extra lemon juice and the lemony zest adds the punch that you need. This is a really tasty vegetarian meal.
