Tahini-Smothered Charred Cabbage

I'm used to making all my tahini sauces with yogurt and lemon etc. This did not have any yogurt and for some reason I could not get it to remain smooth. As the picture shows, it was thick and lumpy despite my adding more and more fluids and stirring like crazy. It would look alright and within half a minute it would separate again... The cabbage itself was kind of bland and rubbery. I think I would prefer slices baked in the oven. Definitely would benefit from something of a kick.

Complex flavors, especially considering how simple the ingredients are. Note that I used a cast-iron skillet and had to cook the cabbage quite a bit longer than the recipe called for.

WHOA. I did not know I could like cabbage this much. My new favorite way to prepare cabbage and so so easy. Honestly wouldn’t change a thing about this recipe. Everyone loved it. The inside was fully cooked, though still firm. Used both black and white sesame seeds. Love love love
