  1. I'm not the most enthusiastic fan of green beans but this is quite a good recipe for even the fussiest eater. Excellent mix of flavours. Couldn't get the toddler to eat these because she insisted on feeding her beans to me LOL.
     
  2. I was stuck. It is QUITE flavorful, but I am not sure if it is the right flavors? It was good.
     
  3. Great Green Beans! The tahini was such a wonderful and flavorful addition. For all those that love the flavor of nuts with your green beans you should give this a try. Even the 4 year old ate all his green beans!

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
