INSTRUCTIONS
LEMON-SESAME SAUCE
>From "Dinner for a Busy Weeknight" column by Susan Shapiro Jaslove in Food
& Wine, September 1990.
1. In a medium plastic bag, combine the bread crumbs, sesame seeds, salt
and cayenne; shake until blended. Rinse the chicken breasts and shake off
any excess water. One at a time, add them to the bag and shake to coat.
2. In a large heavy skillet, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Add
the chicken and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken
and fry until golden and cooked trough, about 5 minutes longer.
3. Meanwhile, place an opened bun on each dinner plate. Divide and arrange
the watercress and tomato slices on the top half of each bun. Spread a
heaping tablespoon of the Lemon-Sesame Sauce on the bottom half of the bun.
4. Place the chicken breasts on the sauced half; drizzle some sesame oil on
top and serve.
Makes 4 servings.
LEMON-SESAME SAUCE: Any remaining sauce can be used as a dip for roasted
sweet potatoes or another vegetable or can be thinned with water or yogurt
and used as a salad dressing.
In a small bowl, mix the tahini and lemon juice. Slowly mix in 1/4 cup
water until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with the salt.
