SO HOW'D IT GO?
in response to the above comment, i do peanut butter in couscous for breakfast with either apple or banana and its delish...im going to have to try the tahini with the veggies in it for dinner tho, thanks!
Brill recipe. Great to put in loads of different veggies: anything you've got left over in the fridge. I put in lots more lemon juice.
Next time, I think I'll try it with "old fashioned" peanut butter instead of the tahini: what do you reckon?
