Pan Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Lemon Green Tahini and Honey Drizzle

I am waiting for my brussels sprouts to finish developing in the garden, the foliage on them is quite big but the brussels so far are still only about 1/2 the size they should be....it's been so dry this year and I have been a little lazy with watering this fall, especially after the frost came and killed about 80% of the rest of the garden.  Kind of was a major buzz kill to see all those tomato plants still full of beautiful tomatoes and as tall as small trees, turn all droopy and sad overnight.   Poor things!  But the cool weather has arrived and brussels season is here.  In this recipe, brussels sprouts are par boiled, then quickly pan seared and finished in the oven.  We then drizzle them with our Lemon Green Tahini Dressing mixed with a bit of honey.
