Middle Eastern Cauliflower Bites with Coffee Tahini Dip
Tahini, or toasted ground sesame seeds, comes from Persia, where it was called “ardeh.” For hundreds of years, only the aristocracy and wealthy could obtain the ingredients to make tahini – in some cultures, tahini was used as currency! Enjoy this delicious healthy appetizer that gets extra depth of flavor from Nescafé Gold.
