She&#8217;s definitely right; we loved it and it&#8217;s absolutely a keeper.  It&#8217;s delicious right after it&#8217;s made, piping hot, but it&#8217;s, unbelievably, even better the next day, when the flavors have had a chance to meld.  I cooked the squash a little more, so that it was a bit softer and took on an almost potato-salad texture.  The leftovers are delicious re-heated, but are also wonderful when eaten cold (like a potato salad).  Hubby and I both LOVED it.<br \/>\nNOTE:  use good-quality, freshly made tahini; you&#8217;ll definitely taste the difference (sorry, Trish!).  Lots of gourmet food stores or health stores actually make\/grind it right on the premises.  Look for it in the refrigerated section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently discovered &#8220;Smitten Kitchen&#8220;, a cute little food blog that I HIGHLY recommend that you check out right away.
