poppy seeds Eiko posted this yesterday, this is a good recipe, sesame seeds

[Guest guest]

This is an old favorite that I never tire of. Try making it with the black

sesame seeds, they have more flavor. Green Tambourine Sesame and Pea

Spread 1/4 cup sesame seeds 2 tbls. butter or margarine 1 large

onion, diced 1 garlic clove, minced (I use 2) 1 (10-oz.) pkg. of frozen

petite peas, thawed 1/4 cup dry sherry 1 tsp. salt 1 tbl.

nutritional yeast (optional) I use it 2 tsps. lemon juice In a dry

skillet, toast the sesame seeds over medium high heat, stirring until toasted

and they start to pop, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. In a med.

saucepan over med. heat melt the butter and saute the onion and garlic until

softened, 3 to 4 mins. Add peas, sherry and salt, cover and reduce heat to

low, and cook until peas are soft, 4 to 5 mins. Stir in nutritional yeast

and lemon juice. Let cool for 5 minutes. In a blender or food processor,

puree pea mixture. Add the sesame seeds and

process until well blended. Serve chilled with crackers, pita chips,

spread on bread or use as a vegetable dip. Makes 2 cups. Prep time: 5

minutes. Cook time: 10 to 13 mins.

underestimated the use of poppy seeds. I

will have to use them more often...I have a whole packet of them and a

whole packet of sesame(sp?)seeds (the dark kind)...if any of you all

know what to do with sesame seeds...pass that along, too!
