1705. Shish Barak

I am affectionate towards yogurt-based dishes, and have no hesitancy in ordering sheesh barak at a restaurant. My hesitancy in making it however was due to the labor intensiveness in forming each little ravioli. Problem solved when I stumbled upon a $3 mold haphazardly the other day. 

1704. Olive Salad

From the finest Lebanese restaurants, to the corner Turkish kebab shop, versions of this olive salad are aplenty. The secret lies in red capsicum paste and pomegranate molasses. Combined, you have an instant flavor bomb. 

1703. Anchovy Toast

When in doubt, go for toast. Whenever I find myself in an inspiration rut, toast always comes through. Toast can be sweet or savory, simple or elaborate. This anchovy toast is a favorite in the Italian antipasti world, and don't knock it till you try it.
