Toasted Couscous Pilaf

Toasted Couscous Pilaf by Farrell May Podgorsek

Israeli couscous makes a great hot pilaf and goes well with so many dishes. This is my husband's favorite grain side dish. I know it's more of a pasta, but we think of couscous as a starch, but not like pasta. The spices can be varied to change the flavor. It is quick and easy, and popular with kids. You can make this vegetarian by…

Gluten Free Klaicha - Date Filled Cookies

Gluten Free Klaicha - Date Filled Cookies by The Blender Girl

Klaichas are a national treat from Iraq. Traditionally, they press them into special moulds similar to tabis, but I just press them with the prongs of a fork. I have used Rapadura sugar to sweeten the dough, and using rice, tapioca and buckwheat flours to make these treats gluten free and more like shortbreads. You could also use some…

Moist Dates Cake

Moist Dates Cake by Padma Priya Manikam

I'm living in the desert shores and why not bake a cake that has dates in it! This is a simple recipe that I came across but changed a little. It is not too sweet and works well with prunes too if you are not a big dates fan.

Kefta Kebab

Kefta Kebab by Farrell May Podgorsek

Middle Eastern ground beef kebab. We use naturally lean pasture-raised beef so I add olive oil to increase the moisture content and keep the patties nice and juicy. Be sure to refrigerate the meat mixture for at least two hours to firm up the meat and allow the seasonings to flavor the meat. I cooked these indoors on a cast iron…
