Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses

Add enough flour to form a batter that holds its shape.

Tip: Amount varies based on egg size and moisture.

6 ✓

Mix tahini with lemon juice (and a splash of water if needed) and serve.

Tip: Tahini thickens with acid.

Recipe FAQ

Oil was too cold. If it's not hot enough, the crust doesn't seal, and it acts like a sponge.
