What is your favorite use for tahini?
baba ganoush made with roasted eggplant. Sometimes with chickpeas added in, so it becomes a hummus/BG hybrid. yum.

I regularly make a potato dish that treads the line between 'traditional' and 'different': Cider Scalloped Potatoes. Instead of broth, use good, fresh cider so you get a good tang & some sweetness, and then smoked gouda to add another element to the taste. I've done it with regular potatoes, with turnips, with celeriac and even with sweet potatoes. It's amazing and people ask about it years after...
