Are you a fellow fan of hummus? If so, you probably already have a jar of tahini, or sesame paste, in your fridge. If you do, then this recipe for ‘Roasted Squash with Green Tahini’ is a must! The season’s best squash (I used acorn squash here) are coated with ground cumin, olive oil, salt and pepper before being roasted to tender.  The lovely green sauce that accompanies the tender squash is a mixture of tahini, cilantro, parsley, lemon juice and zest, garlic and olive oil.  The sauce is thinned out with a touch of water, and is drizzled on top of the cooked squash for added flavor. The green tahini sauce recipe alone is a lovely one to dip pita triangles into, pita chips, or even crudités.
