Oh. Dear. Ever make something that was so delicious that when you discarded the foil you removed it from the garbage a few minutes later to savor a stranded carmelized onion or sauce-soaked bread crumb? Me either, ew, that’s….disgusting. While a stir-fry is my usual “I have no idea what to make for dinner” dinner, …
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 …
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 …
Muhammara (Moo-ha-ma-ra) comes from the Arabic word “reddened,” and is a sweet/spicy dip served on toast or with meat. I’ve read that it originated in either Syria or Lebanon, but at the risk of complicating things more, it really reminds me of my favorite Persian stew Khoresht Fesenjan (pomegranate walnut stew), which I’ll put up …
The other day, my friend was roasting peppers, eggplant, zucchini and onions and it sent me back to being in middle school, sitting on friend’s porch, eating Shabbat leftovers, and pouring roasted peppers on challah bread into our mouths as we giggled our little tushies off. I had to make some. So, I made two …
This is a really yummy dinner you can pull together in 20 minutes. Let’s start with the salad. Serves: 2-3 What you need: 1 can of chickpeas, or an equivalent amount that you’ve soaked overnight and boiled 4 stalks of lettuce; sliced into 1″ pieces 1/4 red onion; chopped 1 tsp lemon; zested 1 tsp …
If that name scares you and makes you think it’s zucchini cooked with some sort of tropical bird, rest assured. No birds were harmed in the making of this breakfast. Only unborn baby chicks. Oh wow, that’s so sad. I wrote last time about Olive Roasted Almonds as being the sophisticated sister of shlumpy popcorn …
