GRILLED SUMMER VEGETABLES WITH TAHINI DRESSING
Start up the grill for a crowd-pleasing platter of vegetables from the garden or farm stand. Take care to keep the fire medium-hot, so you can cook the vegetables without letting them become scorched or blackened. A bit of char is nice, of course, but don't try for perfect grill marks. Remove vegetables from the grill when they are just done. They're topped with a garlicky, lemony tahini dressing that serves as a perfect accompaniment.

Steps:
- Make the tahini dressing: Put tahini, lemon juice, cayenne and garlic in a small mixing bowl, and whisk until smooth. Whisk in olive oil, yogurt and a good pinch of salt.
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill, or a stovetop grill pan. Heat should be medium-high. Make sure grill racks are clean.
- Cut onions crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise. Remove stems and seeds, and discard. Cut each half in two, making eight pieces. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet or roasting pan.
- Cut zucchini and eggplant lengthwise or at an angle into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Brush slices with olive oil on both sides, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet or roasting pan.
- Cut tomatoes in half crosswise. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet or roasting pan.
- Grill onions and peppers (they take longer to cook): Set onion slices carefully on grill so they don't fall apart. Start peppers skin-side up. Peppers and onions should take 4 to 5 minutes per side. As they are done, remove to a serving platter.
- Grill zucchini and eggplant for about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Grill tomatoes on one side only, until heated through, about 5 to 6 minutes. As they are done, remove to a serving platter.
- Arrange vegetables in rows on the platter (or use two platters). Serve warm or at room temperature. Just before serving, drizzle tahini sauce over the vegetables. Sprinkle with paprika, if using, and shower with green herbs. Serve lemon wedges on the side.

ROASTED VEGETABLES W/TAHINI SAUCE OVER ORZO
I concocted this for RSC #7. I love the earthiness of roasted/grilled vegetables; I think they taste best prepared this way. I wanted a sauce that was a bit different with a lot of flavor. And the kids wanted pasta. ;)

TAHINI-GLAZED CARROTS
A little sweet from date syrup, creamy from tahini and very tangy from plenty of lemon juice, this roasted carrot dish - adapted from Adeena Sussman's cookbook "Sababa" - has charisma to spare. It's also extremely easy to make. While the carrots roast with olive oil and cumin, all you do is whisk together a simple glaze from pantry ingredients. If you don't have the date syrup on hand, maple syrup works just as well, making the dish slightly sweeter but no less compelling.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Place carrots on a large rimmed baking sheet and toss with the oil, salt and cumin. Roast carrots for 15 minutes, then turn them and continue roasting until they are golden at the edges and tender, 12 to 15 minutes longer.
- While the carrots are roasting, make the tahini glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, tahini, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, silan, cayenne, salt and 1 tablespoon water until smooth. Whisk in 1 to 2 more tablespoons water until you have a thick but pourable sauce. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice, or both, if you like.
- Transfer the carrots to a platter and drizzle with the tahini glaze, tossing the carrots to coat.

- Toss the vegetables with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) so that they caramelize and get slightly crispy.
