We can agree to disagree if you’re not a fan of tahini, but since I first tried it my consumption of cruciferous vegetables has multiplied. The variety of vegetables in my diet was very minimal, consisting mostly of tomatoes and lettuces, but now I’m going crazy over most vegetables…. just from learning how to cook them right.
I love this recipe so much that I even included served it as our Meatless Monday option at my foodservice rotation, and people loved it! It’s filling, fueling, and delicious!
