This version of mujaddrah adds greens to the dish, making it very healthy dish. We found that adding tomatoes marinated in red wine vinegar and olive oil, then topped with za’atar, brought out a brightness to the flavor.

Skillet Eggplant and Kale Pizza
One of my favorite things in my garden is when have enough eggplant to make something. It has been a rough few years for eggplant plants, they have been attacked by bugs early on. This year, however, has been a good one, very few bugs, so the eggplants have been able to grow. Hopefully this…

Bibimbap from the Garden
My new food discovery this year was bibimbap – a Korean rice, vegetable and egg dish (it can also contain meat). All it took was trying it once and it has become my go-to dish at Korean restaurants. And yes, sometimes I even have cravings for it. So here is my attempt at bibimbap based…
Homemade Almond Butters
My poor 25 year-old food processor, it worked really hard. Between the 2 nut butters, it was running for almost an hour and a half. Overheated once, so it took a rest and then was able to finish the batch. Each nut butter used a different approach for preparing the almonds, for the roasted…

The Challah Project #6 – Scallion Pancake Challah
Asian food for dinner Friday night? Not so good with challah, unless, perhaps you make a scallion pancake challah. I was so excited to try this one. I took Molly Yeh’s ingredient list and used my developing challah technique and ended up with this… The flavor was great, the sesame oil is the real star….
Chocolate Krantz Cake
Ever since I first opened my copy of Yotam Ottolenghi’s Jerusalem cookbook I have been mesmerized by the chocolate Krantz cake. It looked so beautiful, and so complicated. But I finally worked up the nerve to make it. And, surprisingly, it was really quite simple and….oh so delicious! Chocolate Krantz Cakes From Yotam Ottolenghi’s Jerusalem…
Ligurian Kale Pie
More kale from the garden! And some swiss chard from Highland Orchards. Just right for this recipe I saw on the NY Times cooking site – Ligurian Kale Pie – a free-form pie with an olive oil crust. This is a very simple looking food, but don’t be deceived, the taste was fabulous! It was light…
