While making these, I realized that I really love stuffing things–as if being a unofficial member of Over Eaters Anonymous wasn’t enough of an indication. I made this for Shabbat dinner a few weeks back and it was really a great dinner idea because once you make the stuffing, you just let everything cook …
So, this was my first rice pudding ever and I am a HUGE fan, mainly because it was so easy a four-year-old could do it (if you were a totally reckless parent and let your child use a stove). It was done in about 12 minutes and was so refreshing it almost felt like health …
I soaked way too many chickpeas the other day and we weren’t sure what to make for dinner. Fortunately, my pal Penny had recently introduced me to fried chickpea patties (not like falafel though), which reminded me a lot of latkes. I ditched the oil and tried spicing them up with some of my favorite …
Tabbouleh, meaning “little spicy” in Arabic, is a bulgur, parsley, mint and tomato salad doused in lemon juice, olive oil and salt. It is served all over the Middle East with slight variations including more or less bulgur and the salad representing a main course or served as part of a mezze. We’ve already made …
I forgot to include 2 tblsp of milk! Please see updated recipe! Sorry!
To quote Jonah Hill, yes, “You want these in and around your mouth.” No matter how much I profess my love for the markets here, nothing can substitute the convenience of Trader Joe’s. When I first moved abroad, I missed it every day. And when I went home for a short vacation, while eating our …
Okay, now, I know what you’re thinking… But, IT TASTES SO GOOD! If pomegranates were in season in Israel right now, I would have have decorated this so it didn’t resemble…ahem!…so before I lose you completely, this is every Persian child’s favorite dinner, and you know children are hard to please. It is sweet (from the …
Anyone who has ever bought strawberries in Israel can attest to the sad, short-lived fate of this fruit here. I don’t know what they put on them, or how long it takes them to get from the ground to the market, but something has gone very, very wrong. And maybe I’m just a sucker, but …
I really didn’t know what to think of this dish when I first saw it. I love chickpeas and I like dates so-so (they’re a little too sweet for me, if I’m being honest), but more than that, I wasn’t sure if this was a side dish, what to dip in it or generally how …
This salad comes from Cafe Mizrahi in the shuk and is known as the “Ya-Ya Salad.” I haven’t adapted anything in it because it’s simply perfect the way it is, and I can’t wait to share it with you. After I ordered it one day, I bought all the ingredients, went home and tried my …
