Monday: Chicken Shish Tawook
This Authentic Shish Tawook recipe is so delicious and versatile that I guarantee you’ll add it to your summer grilling rotation. But guess what? You can make it in the cooler months too in an oven or on a grill pan. A staple at most Middle Eastern restaurants, there’s no reason for you not to make it at home!
This Pasta alla Genovese (Beef and Onion Ragù) recipe is comforting and delicious. What makes it so special is the rich flavor you get from the slow-cooked onion sauce base. You're going to need a lot of onions! It’s a perfect weekend meal. Personally, this is one of my go-to winter dinner party meals.
Musakhan Rolls are a modern take on the classic Palestinian sumac chicken recipe. These rolls are portable, delicious and easy to prepare. They are made with shredded chicken, caramelized onions, and lots of sumac. Pair them with plain yogurt or a tangy mint yogurt sauce.
This Tuna and White Bean Salad with Caper Vinaigrette is one of those recipes I turn to again and again when I need something quick, nourishing, and full of bold flavor. It’s got pantry-friendly vibes with a fresh, zippy twist. Perfect for a quick lunch, picnics, or as a light dinner with some crusty bread on the side.
I absolutely love this Grilled Corn Peach Salad! It just screams summer! Juicy sweet peaches, smoky charred corn, crunchy cucumbers, creamy feta, and a bright, citrusy sumac dressing make this salad the perfect dish for warm-weather gatherings. And best of all, it comes together in under 20 minutes!
A great recipe for No Knead Tomato Focaccia that is sure to please the pickiest of eaters. This recipe does take some time to prepare (mostly hands-off) but the final baked focaccia will be worth the wait. The base recipe needs just 5 ingredients that you probably have in your pantry right now!
This Blueberry Maple Compote is one of my favorite ways to enjoy fresh blueberries. It’s luscious, tangy, gently spiced, and just sweet enough thanks to real maple syrup. I like to spoon it over pancakes or French toast, swirl it into yogurt or over homemade labneh, or serve it with fresh-baked bread or pound cake as a “quick jam”.
