Broccoli with Tahini and Golden Raisins
Broccoli and raisins — two often polarizing foods — get a makeover in this flavor-packed side dish. The nuttiness of the tahini (sesame paste) balances the fruitiness of the golden raisins for the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Finish it off with a squeeze of lemon for freshness, then watch the broccoli and raisin skeptics come back for seconds.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.
