1 cup sesame seeds
1 pound tender string beans, trimmed and cut in half
1/2 cup minced onion
2 Tablespoons whole-wheat flour
salt
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup grated Gruyere, Swiss or mozzarella cheese
1 Tablespoon butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and oil or butter a 2-quart baking dish
or souffle dish.
Heat a dry skillet over moderate heat and add the sesame seeds.
Cook, stirring or shaking the pan, until the seeds begin to smell
toasty, about 5 minutes. (They will begin to pop at this point.)
Remove from the heat and transfer to a food processor, blender, or
mortar. Grind to a coarse meal.
Steam the beans for 3 to 5 minutes until crisp-tender. Refresh
under cold water. Toss with the minced onion, flour, salt, yogurt
and wine. Turn into the prepared baking dish and top with the
cheese. Spread the ground sesame seeds over the top and dot with
the butter. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top browns.
