Green Beans With Tomato Pesto

I love green beans but I don’t like them the way my mom served them!! We pretty much ate them from a can, warmed up & then they got cold on the plate…and they were a bit mushy….. but I do like them roasted! Sautéed is ok but I prefer them roasted. A bit charred and delicious! This recipe from bon appetit, is unique & very tasty,

Roasted Broccoli with Tahini Sauce

When I was young, we never ate fresh broccoli. I remember eating canned corn & the frozen mixed vegetables! I started making broccoli for my own family, boiling was the way to go! Well, that’s ok if you like boiled or steamed broccoli. Then it seemed roasting vegetables became the craze & thankfully so! I like roast all kinds of vegetables.

Cauliflower Steaks With Tahini and Pine Nuts – The Nosher

I follow The Nosher from the website My Jewish Learning. I find that most of their recipes really work out and are very tasty.

Cauliflower recipes are everywhere and I actually try many of them. This one has a roasted garlic tahini sauce which is different then my usual tahini sauce. The addition of the roasted garlic to the tahini sauce adds a hint of sweetness. If you are not a fan of so much garlic, just use less.  The pine nuts are toasted making them especially delicious. The cauliflower is cut into 1 inch thick steaks, brushed with oil on both sides then roasted until brown. Served up with the tahini sauce and the pine nuts…garnished with chopped parsley….this is a great side dish with just about anything. I like it as is alongside  a deep dark green kale salad!

I will definitely make it again.

 Here is the link to the recipe from The Nosher
