For the tahini sauce:

▢ 1/2 cup tahini
▢ 1 clove garlic, minced
▢ 1 teaspoon salt
▢ Juice of 1 lemon
▢ 1/4 cup cold water

For the Fish:

▢ 2 filets red snapper or other thin, white fleshed fish
▢ 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
▢ Salt and pepper
▢ 1 tablespoon salted butter
▢ 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

For finishing:

▢ 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
▢ 1 tablespoon finely chopped flat leaf parsley

Make the tahini sauce by whisking together the tahini, garlic, salt, and lemon juice. Slowly whisk in the cold water. Lumps may form; keep whisking until smooth, adding more cold water if needed. Set aside.

Season the fish with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Bring refrigerated fish to room temperature, about 30 minutes.

Heat a large heavy pan over high heat. Once pan is hot, reduce heat to medium high and add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter foams up and is very hot (but not browned yet), add the fish fillets to the pan, being sure to leave space between them. The fish should sizzle the moment it touches the pan. If it doesn't, remove the fillets and wait for pan to get hotter.

Cook fillets until golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip them over and cook until golden brown on the second side and fish is opaque and flaky in the center, another 2-3 minutes longer.

Spread the tahini sauce on a platter or two dinner plates. Lay the fish over the sauce and sprinkle the fish with toasted pine nuts and parsley. Serve immediately.

Я все делала на глаз. Получилось отлично! На мой вкус главное добавить побольше чеснока.

2 large eggplants
▢⅓ cup tahini
▢2 cloves garlic minced
▢½ teaspoon salt
▢½ teaspoon pepper
▢1 lemon juice of
Top top
▢2 tablespoon olive oil
▢1 tsp sumac optional


INSTRUCTIONS

Wash and dry the eggplants. Pierce the skin with a fork or a knife.
Turn on the gas stove and set it to high. (Directions for electric stove and roasting are in the notes)
Place the eggplants on the burners and char them. Flip every few minutes so the cook evenly on all sides. This would take about 15 minutes depending on the size of the eggplants. The eggplants are ready when the skin is charred and peeling and the flesh is soft and tender.
Place the eggplants in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap so they sweat and cool.
Once the eggplants have cooled completely, peel the skin and discard. If the skin is not coming off easily, peel the eggplants under running cold water.
Place the eggplants on a cutting board and chop them finely using a knife.
In a bowl, mix the chopped eggplant with tahini, minced garlic, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour.
Transfer the baba ganoush to a serving bowl, top with olive oil and sumac. Serve with pita chips, pita bread or lavash.

2 ½ pounds sweet potatoes of any color (about 4 medium), washed
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (3/4 stick), at room temperature
¼ cup well-stirred tahini
2 to 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, plus lime wedges, for serving
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 clove garlic, finely grated or pounded smooth with a pinch of salt
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a medium pot fitted with a steamer basket or footed colander. Place sweet potatoes in the steamer. Cover, reduce heat to medium and steam until potatoes are completely tender, 35 to 40 minutes. (Use a skewer or paring knife to check for doneness; the potatoes should be soft all the way through.)
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk butter, tahini, lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic until smooth. It might seem as if the butter and liquids will never fully combine, but they will — just keep stirring! Taste, and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and more lime juice as needed.
Set a small pan over medium heat. Toast the sesame seeds, swirling the pan continuously, until seeds are golden. They’ll give off some oil and start to clump together, so if needed, stir with a wooden spoon to keep them moving so that they toast evenly. They’ll turn a nice deep-golden shade just as they dry off a bit, about 4 minutes. Transfer seeds to a small bowl to prevent them from overcooking.
When the sweet potatoes are tender, use tongs to transfer them to a large plate or platter. When they are just cool enough to handle, split potatoes in half lengthwise, and season with flaky salt. Spread tahini butter generously onto the flesh, and top with sesame seeds. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Вкусно, мне понравилось. Картошку прямо в кожуре запекала при 400 Ф 40 минут.

Ingredients

3 lb. sweet potatoes, any color (6 small or 3 large), scrubbed
6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature
¼ cup fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp. tahini
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Flaky sea salt
Toasted sesame seeds and lime wedges (for serving)

Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a medium pot fitted with a steamer basket. Halve sweet potatoes crosswise if large and place in steamer. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and steam until fork-tender, 25–30 minutes.

Meanwhile, smash together butter, lime juice, tahini, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a small bowl with a fork until smooth, about 3 minutes. Season tahini butter with kosher salt and lots of pepper.

Arrange sweet potatoes on a platter or a large plate. Let cool until you can just handle them, then split open and generously spread tahini butter over. Season with sea salt; top liberally with sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges (this dish really comes alive with lots of bright citrus).

Я делала с индейкой. Мужу и сыну очень понравилось. Блюдо калорийное из-за тахини, но соус вкусный, рисовые макароны им отлично пропитываются.

Ingredients

1 (3") piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1/2 cup tahini
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
1/4 cup mirin (Japanese rice wine)
1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1/4 cup hot chili sesame oil, plus more for serving
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 lb. ground pork, beef, chicken, or turkey
1 tsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more
2 cups sliced carrots, zucchini, or whole snow or sugar snap peas
1 bunch scallions, white and pale green parts cut into 1" pieces, dark green parts thinly sliced
8 oz. rice noodles of any shape
Toasted sesame seeds and sliced seaweed snacks (for serving; optional)

Whisk ginger, garlic, tahini, soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, and ¼ cup sesame oil in a medium bowl until smooth; set sauce aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over high. Break up meat into pieces with your hands and scatter in an even layer across skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until well browned underneath, about 5 minutes; season with 1/2 tsp. salt. Continue to cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon or spatula, until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add carrots and white and pale green scallion parts; season with 1/2 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until combined and warmed through, about 1 minute.
Meanwhile, place noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water. Immediately remove pot from heat and let noodles sit until tender, 5–10 minutes, depending on their shape. Drain and transfer to a large bowl
Pour reserved sauce and 1/2 cup hot water into skillet and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring constantly, just until sauce starts to bubble and is smooth, about 1 minute. Pour over noodles in bowl and toss to coat, adding more hot water if needed to loosen sauce.
Divide noodle mixture among bowls. Top with sliced scallion greens, sesame seeds, and/or seaweed, if desired. Drizzle with sesame oil before serving.
