Posted on 19th of April, 2013 by Lévana
One of my favorites, overlaid with Moroccan flavors. All of you out there always asking how we turn a same old, same old salad into an exciting Sephardi main course salad: You can glorify it even further by throwing in some leftover diced fish or chicken, or make it dairy,...

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,...

Tilapia With Fresh Tomatoes and Lemons Recipe. Vegetarian and Other Variations
Posted on 8th of April, 2013 by Lévana
I love tilapia fillets, versatile, widely available and inexpensive. I always use the large ones (7 to 9 ounces), they never let me down or go to pieces on me during the cooking process. I serve it quite often when my husband and I spend shabbos alone, and want to...

Rice Chicken Dry Fruit Tajine Recipe
Posted on 24th of January, 2013 by Lévana
Sephardis are great fans of fruit in their dishes. This wonderful dish will easily explain why. A sort of fruity take-off on the traditional paella, sans tomatoes. Growing up, we never needed any begging to come to dinner! Fruit pairs beautifully with many exciting aromatic ingredients, such as curry, meat,...
