Sesame seeds. The characters in Khoury's novel ate a lot of arnabeet mekli ma tarator or fried cauliflower with tahini sauce.
So I blended sesame seeds with sesame and olive oil to make tahini.
El sr J added lime juice, white wine, and some more sesame oil to the tahini to make the sauce, then he did the cauliflower to which he added potatoes and parsley.
We ate it with pork shoulder he had dry-rubbed and slow roasted and then shredded and sauced in the central North Carolina barbeque style (vinegar and onions, mostly). Another multi-cultural extravaganza.
