Monday: Kabob Koobideh
A staple in Persian cuisine, Kabob Koobideh can easily be prepared at home. This recipe is very straightforward and a perfect addition to your summer grilling rotation. The kebabs are delicious, smoky, fragrant and juicy!
You don’t need a vertical spit to make your own homemade Lebanese chicken shawarma wraps and bowls. This recipe is straightforward and uses your oven. It’s a perfect weeknight meal and comes together in very little time. Pair it with vermicelli rice, Lebanese pita bread, Toum (garlic sauce), Tahini Sauce, pickled turnips or shatta (chili paste).
Summer tomatoes take center stage in this Greek-style Cheese and Tomato Pie. This recipe is adaptable, delicious, and a definite show-stopper! It comes together rather quickly and bakes in under 40 minutes.
Sayadieh is a showstopping Middle Eastern fried fish and spiced rice dish that is delicious, comforting and highly customizable. My version includes a savory tomato sauce that I think brings the whole dish together. Make it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
This Burrata Caprese salad is a feast for the sense and is ready in less than 15 minutes. It combines perfectly ripe, juicy tomatoes with fresh, aromatic basil and creamy, unctuous burrata cheese. It’s a perfect summersalad that you’ll dream about in the middle of winter. Enjoy it with one of our mains or on its own.
Palestinian Taboon flatbread is a Levantine yeasted bread that is traditionally prepared in clay ovens or on hot stones. This recipe adapts the technique and makes it easy for home cooks to enjoy the flavors and traditions without having to build an outdoor oven.
Don’t let rhubarb season go by without trying my Rhubarb Scones with Orange and Pistachios. They're buttery, tender, and packed with tart bites of fresh rhubarb, while ground pistachios and bright orange zest add incredible flavor and texture. Finished with a simple orange glaze and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios.
