Sweet potatoes with tahini butter from Where Cooking Begins: Uncomplicated Recipes to Make You a Great Cook (page 112) by Carla Lalli

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Sleeper hit of this book! Unexpected and fab. Good for a light dinner as is, but can also load up with other veggies or salad for a fuller meal.

    At first I was dubious that steamed sweet potatoes with a simple tahini sauce should warrant a double spread in Carla's cookbook. After having made it, featuring the sauce alone would have been worth it. I'm agreeing with Lepa: this is a solid stand-alone dish, but can absolutely be elevated with other add-ons. (We had black beans and slow roasted tomatoes with ours.)

    This recipe adds a tangy, savory note to sweet potatoes, which I welcome, and some pleasant crunch from sesame seeds. I liked the method of steaming the sweet potatoes and will probably do that again. I ate this for lunch and it was a solid stand-alone dish.
