Review: Mike made this and had it ready when I came home from work. Except he couldn't find the sesame seeds in the cabinet. :( This was super olive-y and I loved that!
I made this again on 3/14/2011. This time, I was able to add toasted sesame seeds, which made the dish soooo much tastier! I also substituted white wine vinegar for the lemon juice and it had a better flavor.
It's so good to hear Mike's becoming a good cook too! :)
