TOMATILLO SALSA

My husband is seriously addicted to salsa and hot sauce. He puts it on…everything. Before even tasting the food, he’ll douse it with hot sauce. I’m convinced he has dead taste buds. That being said, he makes the best homemade salsas and this is one of my favorites.

TAHINI – a pantry staple:

Sesames seeds (tahini) are nutrient dense and one of the oldest known plant grown for its seeds and oil. Sesame seeds are particularly high in calcium. Only 1/4 cup of sesame seeds contains 350mg of calcium, which compares to 290 mg of calcium in 1 cup of cow milk. Sesame seeds help lower cholesterol, promote healthy bowels as well as lactation for nursing mothers. They contain more than 35% protein, more than any nut, and boast high antioxidant properties…Besides using tahini in my cooking, I also like to use sesame seeds as garnish on salads and soups and any Asian dishes. It’s a great way to add a source of calcium while sticking to a plant-based diet.
