    Start to Finish: 15 minutes

    Servings: 8

    Ingredients

    • 1/3 cup tahini

    • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)

    • 1/2 tsp. brown sugar

    • 2 lb. green beans, trimmed

    • 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped

    • Freshly cracked pepper

    Preparation

    1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the green beans.

    2. In a blender, puree the tahini, lemon juice, brown sugar, and 2 to 4 tbsp. water; season the dressing with salt.

    3. Salt the boiling water generously and add the beans. Cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain the green beans and spread out on a baking sheet. Let cool slightly for 3 to 4 minutes. In a large bowl, toss the green beans with the dressing. Serve warm and top with the parsley and pepper.
