1826. Zaatar and Cheese Saj Parcels

This is a quick yet delicious savory breakfast pastry that is done in minutes. Zaatar and cheese is a classic flavor combination which you cannot go wrong with.

1825. Palestinian Purslane Appetizer

Purslane is dismissed as a weed since it so resiliently grows between crop and even between bricks. This "weed" which we are being prompted to discard is one of the most nutrient dense and medicinal foods you can find.

1824. Freekeh Casserole

Freekeh is an ancient Mesopotamian grain that has made it to our modern-day superfood lists. It is simply a wheat grain, but the following makes all the difference: it is harvested while still green, and it is smoked.

1823. Seaweed Roasted Cashew

A salty and sweet snack that tastes delicious. Seaweed is not only rich in iron, but it interestingly also helps to stabilize female hormones.

1822. Puffed Nutella Bananas

The food scene has exploded, which might be a good thing, were it not for the clickbait problem. Many quick and attractive food videos are spamming our feeds, and when implemented, the recipe is a flop. Not a great introduction to these puffed nutella bananas, but a reality that needs to have light shed on it. 

1821. Leftover Chicken Sandwich

Roast chicken is best the day it is made. The best use if leftover roast chicken is in a sandwich.

1820. Turkish Liver and Rice

This Turkish liver is rice is one of those dishes I can never say no to if it's available on the menu. Interestingly, it is a "fast food" sold in carts as a common street food.

1819. Twix and Arabic Coffee

I am sharing a breakdown of one of the IYKYK things. If you know, you know, but if you don't how are you supposed to know? So, twix and Arabic coffee. Together, they make for the best combo. Almost addictive. Totally unsuitable for formal company. Want to know more?

1818. Warm Cabbage Salad

Roast cabbage is a wonderful way to transform this humble vegetable. While we might be used to a crunch and vibrant cabbage salad or coleslaw in the summer, a warm roasted cabbage salad with delicious cashew tahini dressing is a great version for the winter. 

1817. Sourdough Zaatar Focaccia

It was a matter of time before a sourdough focaccia made it to the blog. Actually, there was one before this, but here is the new and improved version.

1816. Buckwheat Granola

This is the first time I use buckwheat. Although coming from wheat, it has many health benefits that I preferred making an oat-less granola just to let it shine.

1815. Simple Seared Seabass Fillets

I would happily dine on these delicious seabass fillets two or even three times a week. There is zero "fishiness" to them, the flavor is just beyond, and paired with some potatoes or rice or even pasta, make for a wholesome and satisfying meal.
