Hummus with olives, pine nuts, and crostini

Hummus with Olives, Pine Nuts and Olive Oil Crostini

By Maureen Abood On November 16, 2018 · Add Comment · In Breads, Christmas, Grains and Legumes, Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian, xfer
 Hummus with olives, pine nuts, and crostini make for a beautiful, holiday-worthy appetizer. Healthy and luscious and lovely, all in one! Get out the good china! Hummus is rightly an everyday or at least an every-week food. And sometimes the everyday gets (rightly) set aside for the special times, the feasts, the celebrations. But smooth [...]

By Maureen Abood On October 18, 2018 · Add Comment · In Fall, Gluten-Free, Grains and Legumes, Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Stories and Recipes, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian, Winter, Your Favorites

By Maureen Abood On September 22, 2018 · 10 Comments · In Grains and Legumes, Salads, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian, Your Favorites
An arugula, avocado and mujadara platter is a gorgeous way to serve mujadara, a beloved–yet humble-looking–lentil pilaf. Mujadara, along with arugula and avocado, is one of the healthiest, most delicious meals you can eat. Don’t ever apologize for your food. I wish I could claim this edict as my own, but it comes from our [...]

There is so much to love about velvety, protein-packed white beans–especially white beans with za’atar roasted tomatoes and olive oil, an ultra-flavorful combination that will keep you satisfied, healthy, and happy!

Vegetarian Stuffed Koosa

By Maureen Abood On August 9, 2018 · 8 Comments · In Gluten-Free, Grains and Legumes, Stories and Recipes, Summer, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian, Yogurt, Labneh and Laban, Your Favorites

Koosa squash is a lighter green version of zucchini; dark green or yellow zucchini work beautifully for this dish if you don’t have Lebanese koosa. In any case, always select smaller squash, about 6 or [...]

By Maureen Abood On November 1, 2017 · 26 Comments · In Christmas, Fall, Gluten-Free, Grains and Legumes, Stories and Recipes, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian, Winter, Your Favorites

Tomato Kibbeh

By Maureen Abood On August 24, 2017 · 8 Comments · In Grains and Legumes, Summer, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian
Tomato kibbeh is a flavorful mix of fine bulgur, onion, herbs, and ripe tomatoes with kibbeh spices. So good, tomato kibbeh might just make you forget the raw meat version…. When he told me he was more or less done with meat, I didn’t believe him. It was last spring, and the brother of mine [...]
