Amazing Afghan Chicken by John Spottiswood

This recipe, known as Murgh in India, is amazingly flavorful and a real crowd pleaser. I served two BBQ chicken recipes for July 4th, my father-in-law's Chinese Barbecued Chicken (linked below) and this new dish. The kids mostly ate the sweeter Chinese version, but the adults split about 50-50 in terms of their favorites. I saw…

Chicken and Eggplant Stew by Nancy Miyasaki

This recipe was given to me by my good friend Brian Bedrosian. He raved about it, so we made it last night. It was very tasty. Our kids all ate second helpings and we ended up with nothing left! I altered his ingredients just slightly, and show that in parenthesis below. We served this over a simple bulgur pilaf made with half…

AUSHAK - AFGHAN RAVIOLI by Linda Tay Esposito

I first tasted Aushak at the Salang Pass restaurant in Fremont, a city where a lot of Afghan immigrants have settled. Aushak is proof that Marco Polo made his way through that part of the world (I mean through the Hindu Kush, not Fremont!) enroute back from China. Aushak is traditionally made with beef - it's the Afghan version of…

Turkish Leek Recipe by sevgi

Leeks are an interesting vegetable resembling large green onions. Not only do they look like an onion, they do have an onion taste, but very mild. It's a great vegetable to explore, if you haven't done so already. One thing to note is, there are a lot of layers to the leek and you need to be careful when preparing them. You will…

Turkish Lamb Kofta With Cherries & Yogurt by Bob Vincent

These little meatballs are a bit different take on traditional Kofta with the use of cherries and veal stock as a sauce. Fortunately in the Bay Area this year the cherry crop was very good; keeping the price per pound within reason. As garnish options I offerred chopped cilantro, feta cheese, yogurt sauce and toasted pignoli…
