Tahini-Tella

Fran Costigan's vegan Tahini-Tella

Recently, while cleaning up the kitchen after my dinner, I looked at the jar of tahini I had just used—I’d made hummus–and spied the always-present baggie of chopped chocolate on my counter. And in literally 5-minutes, using just those two ingredients plus 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla, a sugar free Tahini-Tella Spread was made. Who among […]
