One of the best things that I love about fall is the harvest. What a wonderful thing it is to take these freshly harvested vegetables, whether from your backyard or the farmer’s market, and make something delectable with them. This recipe takes all of these autumn vegetables and turns them into this amazing, comforting dish.
Baba Ganoush is one of the staple recipes in the Lebanese home cuisine. It is so decadent with its chard unique flavor. If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend you do. It is very similar to Hummus in its ingredients, but in my opinion, this tastes even better than Hummus, and as a bonus it is low carb.
This is one of those recipes that is served as an appetizer or a side dish at parties and almost every occasion. Lebanon has a very special entrée dishes or appetizers that are served together before any main meal. These dishes are known as Maza. They might differ in taste from restaurant to restaurant, or from house to house, but they are still mainly the same dishes. Some of these dishes are Tabouleh, Hummus, Sambousek, Kbeb, and many others. Whenever I was served these dishes before the main meal, I always thought there is no way I will be able to stuff the main meal into my belly. Besides, these dishes are so delicious on their own I am not sure I want to get to the main meal.
Kimchi is one of the most popular foods in Korean cuisine, but it is also popular at my house. It is rich in probiotics which are essential to our gut health.
This pasta salad recipe is an easy and quick recipe, and super delicious. You’ll want to make it over and over again. It is a twist off of a Russian potato salad known as “salad russe”. I can practically eat this whole thing of pasta salad by myself (for several meals) and not complain.
Creamy mashed potatoes is so soft, creamy, and delicious. This recipe will make a perfect side dish for any holiday, steak, sausage and gravy, grilled veggies, and so many other combinations. You might need to make a double batch of these creamy mashed potatoes because it will disappear very quickly.
Cauliflower hummus is made with roasted cauliflower which makes it extra flavorful. It is lower in carbs than the traditional hummus, but taste amazing if not even better than the traditional hummus, in my opinion.
This grape leaves recipe is so good, you will lick your plate. Stuffed with a mixture of rice and meat. Flavored with the most aromatic middle eastern spices. And gently simmered in the most delectable broth to perfection.
Rice with vermicelli is served alongside many Lebanese dishes. This is a gluten free recipe, but you can also make it with regular vermicelli. I will be mentioning this recipe a lot. So you might want to keep a copy of it in an easily accessible place. This is my son’s favorite rice. He loves it so much that he asks me to make it often. I’ll have to admit, I like it a lot as well even though rice is not my most favorite food in the world.
This hummus recipe is one of the best flavorful dips. If you are looking for an authentic hummus recipe, you’ve got it right here. Hummus is served as part of the whole Maza package. This amazing dip is simply named after chickpeas. Maza is sort of like the appetizers that are served before the main meal.
