Matbukha Recipe and Shakshuka Variation. Gluten-Free
Posted on 16th of April, 2013 by Lévana
Matbukha (Salade Cuite) is one of our Moroccan favorite dishes, a sort of comfort food for expats and honorary Sephardis alike: See how they mop that sauce with their bread! My version has roasted garlic in it, for a an easily added wonderful layer of flavor. Shakshuka is nothing more...

Hummus Recipe. All Variations
Posted on 16th of April, 2013 by Lévana
I bet you thought hummus comes in pint containers and no other way. That’s how ubiquitous commercial hummus has become—a marked improvement over many mediocre commercial offerings, but commercial nonetheless. But wait till you see (a) how simple it is to whip up and (b) how many hats it wears,...

This star was born of trying to mix and match some goodies at the end of last year’s Passover. I poked around in the refrigerator to see what we’ve got. Now is a good time for some off-the-cuff treat. I saw some dark-fried onions in a little container, a head...

Cornmeal-Crusted Tilapia Fillets with Cocktail Sauce Recipe
Posted on 13th of September, 2012 by Lévana
I always wonder if tilapia might suffer from underrating and mild neglect in the States. Economical, versatile and flavorful, there’s nothing I don’t do with it! This is one of the few recipes I fry, and it is a real treat. For a crust, I find cornmeal gives matzah meal...
