Purple Cauliflower Salad with Romaine and Hard-Boiled Egg.
(Click!)

Boil the cauliflower in acidulated water (water with a touch oflemon juice or vinegar) to preserve it's color. The purple, green, and yellow in the salad are beautiful. The anitoxidents in purple cauliflower are also those found in red wine that are supposed to be good for your heart.

Tahini should be a toasted sesame seed paste and out of the jar looks exactly like peanut butter (I don't know what that photo is).
Your recipe is a good one, though I'd recommend using only a tablespoon of sesame oil to get the right consistency for the sesame seed paste. Chances are buying good tahini at your local international grocery will cost you less than the sesame seeds, and be of better consistency.

This looks delicious- do you think it would work with peaches, or would putting peaches on top weigh it down and prevent the batter from rising up?

Actually, in my experence these beans are often slow cooked in a tomato sauce, like in this recipe:

Braised Romano Beans

They are similar to the type of flat green bean used in the middle east and Greece to make loubia bil zeit, which is often cooked for 40-50 minutes.
