I added a dash of red pepper flakes, but I still found the results a bit blander than I would have liked. - 6/3/13

I also made it without the tahini. I increased the garlic. It was great - 5/11/10

I really liked it. I'm not crazy about the flavor of tahini
so I went lighter than what the recipe called for. It was good though - 4/22/08

When I don't have any tahini I make it without it and it still tastes fine. I'm a garlic fanatic though, so I usually add extra. :-) Glad you liked it, I think it tastes better over time.
