I'm confused about the negative review too. It was outstanding! I loved the nuttiness of the tahini, and I had it with a sweet sesame honey chicken that paired perfectly. Yum!

My family and my mother enjoyed this recipe. We've made it twice and there haven't been any green beans left over at the end of either meal!

I think this recipe is great! I was surprised it got a bad review. I've made it twice now and my hubby and I both love it. Tons of flavor!

Unfortunately, everyone in the family thought that the flavor of these beans was very sharp. With a tablespoon of ginger already in there, the tablespoon of lime is way too much. You can read my full review at Taking On Magazines: http://bit.ly/13FkbZd
