Notes
- If you want to keep this meal WFPB-compliant, I’ve found a good substitute for the oil: tahini. You know when you leave tahini sitting untouched for a few days, and it separates into two layers: with the thick creamy sesame paste settling at the bottom, and a clear layer of oil on top? The oily top layer is a perfect alternative to refined oil.
