Traditionally it calls for you to crush your own sesame seeds, but why do that when there is tahini available?

Zucchini caponata: vegan
I had extra zucchini this week and was tired of my other methods to cook it, so i thought, why not make what is traditionally eggplant, using zucchini? And it worked.
Summer squash bake: vegan
This could be made by just grilling the squash, pepper and onion and cooking the potatoes then mixing all together. It’s a nice combination of flavors, no matter how you cook them. You can also double the recipe to serve more people.
Cauliflower steak: vegetarian
This was fun to make, but really it’s much easier to just cut up the cauliflower into florets and pour the dressing over it, mix and roast. Steaks seem to be a fad right now, but does not do anything to add to the flavor or the presentation. We served these with a side of spaghetti with sauce.
Broccoli and walnuts: vegan
I combined parts of different recipes and experimented with what to add to this dish. Peanuts would make a nice alternative to the walnuts, and sesame seeds would also add a nice flavor.
Baba ghanoush: vegan
This is an easy no oil recipe that we find delicious. It’s great served with pita bread, rice or a baked potato.
