Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 bag of shaved Brussels sprouts
- 1/3 cup scallions, chopped
- 1/3 cup mixed fresh herbs (dill, parsley, and cilantro)
- Optional: any favorite veggies (think bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini!)
- Spices:
- 1 tbsp Cajun spice blend
- 1 tbsp masala spice blend (Both Pereg spicesāif you donāt have these, smoked paprika and cumin are great substitutes)
- 1/2 cup tahini (I love using Caesar-flavoredĀ tahiniĀ for this recipe!)
- 2 tbsp liquid aminos (a great soy sauce alternative!)
- Optional topping: preserved lemon or pickled lemon for a zesty finish
Instructions:
-
Heat It Up: Start by warming 2 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add your spices (Cajun and masala) to the oil and let them infuse for 1-2 minutes. This step releases those rich, aromatic flavors and maximizes the health benefits of each spice.
-
Add the Veggies: Toss in the Brussels sprouts and stir well, coating them evenly in the infused oil and spices. Cook until they begin to soften, around 3-5 minutes.
-
Mix in the Herbs: Add the chopped scallions, dill, parsley, and cilantro. SautƩ everything together for another 3-5 minutes until the herbs are fragrant and the Brussels sprouts are tender.
-
Cook the Eggs: Make a well in the center of your skillet, crack in the eggs, and scramble them gently. Once theyāre cooked, stir everything together until well combined.
-
Season: Pour in the liquid aminos (which also adds a light, savory flavor). Taste and adjust if needed, and add a splash of lemon juice for a bit of brightness. Let everything cook together for an additional 5 minutes.
-
Make the Ā tahiniĀ Sauce: While the veggies are cooking, mix 1/2 cup Ā tahiniĀ , juice of half a lemon, and 1/4 cup cold water in a bowl. Stir until you get a creamy, smooth sauce. Adjust the thickness by adding more water (for a thinner sauce) or moreĀ tahiniĀ (for a thicker consistency).
-
Serve and Garnish: Spread a layer of the creamyĀ tahiniĀ sauce on your plate, pile on the stir fry, and drizzle more Ā tahiniĀ sauce on top if youād like! Top with preserved lemon or any of your favorite garnishes, plus a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
-
Optional Spicy Twist: For a spicy kick, drizzle spicy tahiniĀ over the topāitās perfect for those who love a little heat!
Enjoy your creamy, dreamy tahini stir fry, and donāt forget to save this recipe for those weeknight cravings!
