This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Sesame is one of the most delicious, nutritious and versatile of the culinary seeds. Sesame seeds are popular the world over. Throughout Eastern Asia they are most often used toasted. The Near East likes them untoasted and dried. Mexico's complex mole poblano meat sauce numbers sesame seeds among its many ingredients (including meat stock, spices, raisins, tomatoes and cocoa). Tahini paste, made from ground dried sesame seeds, is popular throughout West Asia and the Middle East. The bread spread hummus, originated in Israel and Lebanon, made from chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice and parsley, is now a popular healthy snack the world over. Green Beans and Sesame Seeds: http://www.happycookers.com/wc.dll/recipes/divulge/B21223.html: 1-2 pounds young green beans, stemmed but with the tender green tip intact ¼ cup roasted sesame seeds 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to your taste ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 cloves garlic, minced salt and pepper to your taste Plunge the beans into a large pot of rapidly boiling water and cook, uncovered, until they just become tender, about 3-5 minutes. Taste them frequently and do not overcook them. When they just lose the raw flavor, immediately pour them into a colander and rinse thoroughly in cold water to stop cooking and to retain the bright green color. When drained well, toss with remaining ingredients and serve at room temperature.
