Rice pilaf with nuts in a yellow dish held by two hands

Mixed Nut Rice Pilaf, Lebanese Hushweh

By Maureen Abood On October 16, 2019 · 15 Comments · In Chicken, Fish, Beef, Lamb, Gluten-Free, Grains and Legumes, Winter, Your Favorites
This Mixed Nut Rice Pilaf is a version of the classic Lebanese dish, hushweh, and our weekly go-to. The “fried” or toasted nuts are a salty, incredibly flavorful topping to the rice, which is packed with savory beef and chicken. Everyone loves this dish for its deliciousness and ease, a winner. It’s true that I [...]

Garlicky Whipped Feta Dip

By Maureen Abood On October 11, 2019 · 4 Comments · In Christmas, Fall, Gluten-Free, Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Techniques, Winter, Your Favorites
Two ingredients and you’re good to go with this garlicky whipped feta dip. The flavor is addictive. Plus, it comes together very quickly and easily. My niece Victoria announced recently that we have 12 Sundays left until Christmas. Her friend Hannah said so. Since then, we’ve dropped to 11 Sundays left ‘til Christmas. I’ve always [...]

Roasted Cauliflower Shawarma

By Maureen Abood On September 21, 2019 · Add Comment · In Fall, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian, Winter, Your Favorites
Shawarma is traditionally spit-grilled chicken or meat with succulent spices. Roasted Cauliflower Shawarma marries the same flavors that make classic chicken shawarma so delicious, in a gluten-free, vegan recipe. The other day at a football tailgater at Michigan State, I met a kid of Dan’s cousin who found out not long ago that he has [...]

Caprese salad on a blue platter

Caprese Salad with Pomegranate and Mint

By Maureen Abood On September 5, 2019 · 2 Comments · In Gluten-Free, Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Salads, Summer, Vegetables, Vegetarian, Your Favorites
Caprese salad with pomegranate and mint is a flavor explosion. The pomegranate molasses, like balsamic vinegar, lends a sweet-tart note to ripe tomatoes. I figure it was because we had such a cold and unforgiving winter last year (polar vortex, lest we’ve forgotten), but when the leaves made a full appearance last spring, I felt [...]

Apricot chicken in a roasting pan with roasted apricots

Apricot Chicken Recipe

By Maureen Abood On August 22, 2019 · 1 Comment · In Chicken, Fish, Beef, Lamb, Gluten-Free, Summer
This fabulous Apricot Chicken Recipe uses fresh apricots. The roasting method results in juicy roasted skinless, boneless chicken. I was rushing to make a dinner that both my mom and my nephew would like to eat. The chicken breasts seemed harmless enough, and I’ve been schooling myself this summer on how not to dry out [...]

The Tabbouleh Hummus Platter is perfect on your grill buffet, as a side dish and a vegetarian main. Make it gluten-free using quinoa in the tabbouleh. Eat the tabbouleh hummus with thin pita bread or crisp romaine leaves. Someone asked me recently what is my favorite way to eat hummus. That’s a toughie, because I [...]

Roasted New Potatoes with Mint

By Maureen Abood On August 8, 2019 · Add Comment · In Gluten-Free, Techniques, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian, Your Favorites

If the boiled new potato is a thing of simple, great beauty, the roasted boiled new potato is thing of extra great beauty. The [...]

Frozen Blueberry Labneh Swirl Bars

By Maureen Abood On August 1, 2019 · 2 Comments · In Gluten-Free, Ice Cream and Sorbets, Pastry and Sweets, Summer, Yogurt, Labneh and Laban, Your Favorites
Frozen Blueberry Labneh Swirl Bars are gluten-free, creamy-tart bars on a pistachio crust. Ice cream maker optional! As big and crowd-worthy as our recent giant cherry slab pie was, these frozen blueberry yogurt swirl bars are about as small as you can get, pan-wise. They’re in an 8×8, which I rarely use. We’re so often [...]

Basil Dipping Oil

By Maureen Abood On June 23, 2019 · Add Comment · In Gluten-Free, Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Summer, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian, Yogurt, Labneh and Laban
Basil oil is the jewel of the table, and a perfect use for the profusion of herbs from gardens and markets in the heart of summer. For the most part, we don’t seek out Arabic or Mediterranean restaurants all that often. I figure this is because we eat so much of our great food at [...]

Crunchy Cucumber Salad

By Maureen Abood On June 14, 2019 · 4 Comments · In Gluten-Free, Salads, Summer, Vegetables, Vegetarian, Yogurt, Labneh and Laban, Your Favorites
Crunchy Cucumber Salad is made creamy–yet still healthy–with labneh, and the cukes hold their crunch with a quick drain after they are sliced. I consider this crunchy, creamy salad one of the greatest in my summer repertoire for three reasons: I always have cucumbers, labneh, and herbs. A creamy (yet healthy) salad that can be [...]
