Fattoush Salad with Chicken and Tahini-Sumac Dressing

I recently posted a Fattoush salad recipe using oil-based vinaigrettes, pita chips or sourdough croutons, fresh vegetables and herbs.

He always seems to come up … Continue reading

Milk Street’s Charred Zucchini with Gochujang and Scallions

Broiling the zucchini until charred, coating it in a gochujang sauce and finishing with green onion slices and sesame seeds is a special addition to your meal.

This cookbook, Milk Street Tuesday Nights Mediterranean, is a favorite as there are so many recipes I am anxious to try. This is my third recipe from Christopher Kimball’s cookbook.

Harissa-Spiced Pasta and Chicken with Green Beans

This is becoming a favorite cookbook partly because the recipes include per Chris: “an enormously diverse group of cultures, from Malta to Turkey, from the Middle East to Morocco. It’s not just Italy, Greece and Spain.” So, there is quite a … Continue reading
