Delicious brownies with a ribbon of tahini. Perfect for your 4th of July bash!

The JEM Cashew Curry Tahini is a deliciously smooth and slightly sweet, curry-infused nut butter. This curry tahini is amazing on veggies, rice bowls and even vanilla ice cream (for the adventurous)!

The turmeric-tahini sauce is liquid gold! It’s bright and lemony and adds a pop of flavor, making any dish feel special. Any chance you can get to add turmeric to your diet, do it! The active compounds in turmeric -- curcumin -- has amazing health benefits. 

INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

½ tablespoon tahini

½ tablespoon water

½ garlic clove, minced

¼ teaspoon ground turmeric

Sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

2 ounces soba noodles

1/8 teaspoon sesame oil

4 to 6 kale leaves, chopped

2 red radishes, thinly sliced

½ medium carrot, peeled into ribbons (using a regular vegetable peeler)

3 ounces shelled edamame

½ teaspoon sesame seeds

¼ cup microgreens

Tamari, for serving

DIRECTIONS

1| In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, water, garlic, turmeric, and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Set aside.

2| Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Cook the soba noodles until al dente, following package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water, separating noodles with your hands. In a bowl, toss noodles with sesame oil; set aside.

3| Fill the same pot with an inch or two of water and place a steamer basket inside. Bring to a boil, then add the kale and a pinch of salt. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and steam until tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes.

4| Top noodles with kale, radishes, carrot ribbons, and edamame. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon sauce and top with sesame seeds and microgreens. Serve with remaining sauce and tamari.

We've got great news....Live Superfoods has a new supplier for our Almond Butter, and now we have Tahini, too!

Our supplier buys

small, very fresh batches

of almonds and hulled sesame seeds that are:

• USDA-certified organic
• Raw (dried at temps under 118 degrees F)
• Unpasteurized 

Ultra-smooth texture

is achieved by our supplier

stone-grinding

the nuts and seeds. Stone-grinding nearly liquifies the ingredients, so you'll notice that our almond butter and tahini are a more honey-like consistency. 

Tahini suggestions

- Excellent in hummus (chickpea, eggplant or edamame come to mind), as a base for salad dressings, pasta, and deliciously rich sauces for vegetables like cauilflower, carrots or sugar snap peas.

Almond Butter suggestions

- Excellent on apple slices, celery, a slice of raisin bread, or added to a smoothie or your favorite curry. Perfect for homemade energy bars by adding cacao nibs, chopped dates, quinoa (cooked, cooled and dried) or raw oats.

Both are a generous 16 fl oz, packaged in glass jars with metal (not plastic) lids.

The only drawback is we often sell out before the next batch arrives. So get 'em while you can!
