Vartabit Recipe

1 to 2 loaves French bread, cut into 1" cubes
1 cup tahini (sesame paste)
1 clove garlic, crushed
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon salt
1 can (15 oz.) great Northern beans
2 Tablespoons sumac
black pepper
cayenne
cumin
1 stick butter
1/4 teaspoon cayenne or paprika

Place bread cubes in a 9"x13" baking pan (preferably glass). Broil
bread until golden brown. Mix the tahini with crushed garlic, salt,
and lemon juice. Add enough water to this paste to bring the
consistency of pancake batter. Drain the beans, wash well. Stir
the beans into the tahini mixture. Spread the beans mixture over
the toasted bread cubes. Sprinkle with the spices starting with
black pepper and ending with sumac. Melt butter until golden brown. Stir in either cayenne or paprika according to taste. Drizzle over the prepared dish. Serve immediately.
