These tahini veggies are a quick meal I created by chance, when on a Sunday evening I just threw a couple of things I found in the fridge without great expectations. It was soooo good!
Some of you might know the sauce from my sesame noodles, and as a warm rice dish it works just as well. Now we’re having this at least once a week, and every time we are impressed how tasty this simple combination is.
I cook the rice fro my tahini veggies in my multicooker*, and usually I make twice the amount, so we can have pineapple rice with vegan egg the next day.
