The secret to the fantastic flavor of this green bean side dish is the magical sauce, which will transform everything you add it to. You might even want to try it with other vegetables! The green beans are simply sautéed in olive oil for a few minutes to soften them slightly while retaining their crispness and juiciness. Then, on a serving platter, they are drizzled with a sauce made from a mixture of tahini, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and cayenne pepper. All the flavors of the sauce combine into one indescribable bouquet of sweet, spicy, salty, and savory notes.
