By Maureen Abood On September 2, 2016 · 52 Comments · In Gluten-Free, Grains and Legumes, Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Stories and Recipes, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian, Your Favorites
Because there are so few ingredients in homemade smooth hummus, each one has to be the best. Here are the tricks to getting your homemade hummus to come out smooth and luscious. I’ve been talking, and making, a lot of hummus lately. I put it on the menu of the cooking classes I teach, and [...]

Chickpea Feta Salad, MaureenAbood.com

Chickpea and Feta Picnic Salad

By Maureen Abood On May 25, 2016 · 25 Comments · In Gluten-Free, Grains and Legumes, Salads, Summer, Vegetables, Vegetarian
I’m not entirely sure why, but when Dan asked me in the most complimentary way to “master” the chickpea salad he’d eaten at Woody’s, our local favorite for Lebanese, I didn’t exactly jump all over it. The poor guy—he’s been casually slipping his simple request into conversation wherever it fits. I mention cooking up some [...]

Lebanese Vegetable Soup with Chickpeas and Kale

By Maureen Abood On January 7, 2016 · 19 Comments · In Gluten-Free, Grains and Legumes, Soups, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian, Winter
This vegetable soup with chickpeas and kale is hearty with sweet butternut squash, tomatoes, and a hit of cayenne. So warming, healthy, and simple to make–which we do, weekly! Vegan and gluten-free. One frigid, snowy day last winter when Dan was down and out with a cold, his sister Trisha brought over a big tunjura [...]

Fresh Herb Falafel Wrap, Maureen Abood

Fresh Herb Falafel Pita Wrap

By Maureen Abood On August 28, 2015 · 17 Comments · In Grains and Legumes, Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Summer, Vegetables, Vegetarian
Mother never made that. That’s what mom’s sister, Aunt Pat, said when I talked about the falafel I’d be making with the abundance of fresh herbs we have, along with the peeled fava beans we recently started offering over at Maureen Abood Market. The sisters have been engaged in a dialogue, one that has extended [...]

Homemade Falafel Recipe

By Maureen Abood On March 13, 2014 · 56 Comments · In Stories and Recipes, Vegan, Vegetarian
Watch my video for homemade falafel on YouTube right HERE! Begin making the falafel a day in advance to soak the chickpeas and fava beans. You can make the tahini sauce in advance up to three days. An ice cream scoop works great as an alternative to a specialty falafel scoop, but be careful not [...]

Ingredient: Fava Beans

By Maureen Abood On March 11, 2014 · 6 Comments · In Ingredients
What, can I ask, is wrong with the Lebanese that we so dearly love the very beans that require such painstaking attention? The chickpea is a wonder bean, but that little sucker is most often nothing until it is properly free of its skin. The fava is no different. My position as a bottom-feeder at [...]

Hummus with lamb, hummus kwarma on a blue plate

Hummus with Lamb and Sumac.

By Maureen Abood On October 24, 2013 · 21 Comments · In Chicken, Fish, Beef, Lamb, Gluten-Free, Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Stories and Recipes
Hummus with lamb and sumac is a luscious, healthy way to change-up your hummus fix by adding marinated, sauteed lamb atop smooth hummus. For some, texture is important because it bothers them. They say of their aversion to eating raw oysters that “it’s a texture thing.” For me, I love eating raw oysters, and yes [...]

Favorite Things: A small plate, for mezze

By Maureen Abood On October 23, 2013 · 4 Comments · In Favorite Things
Call it a salad plate, an appetizer plate, a dessert plate…it’s the 4- or 5- (even 6) inch plate in your collection that is the perfect size for the mezze you love. What mezze, you ask? The hummus mezze (with a little extra something-something) we’re making this week. It’s not really dip, the way we’re [...]

Peeled Chickpeas, Maureen Abood Market

Pre-Peeled Chickpeas. A homemade hummus game-changer.

By Maureen Abood On October 1, 2013 · 44 Comments · In Favorite Things, Stories and Recipes, Techniques, Vegan, Vegetarian
The first time I went to the Symposium for Professional Food Writers at the Greenbrier, I walked into the grand dining room (think of the biggest chandelier you’ve ever seen, in green and black crystal) on the first night for dinner. The hostess took us, each one as we arrived, to the round tables of [...]

Barley Picnic Salad, and 4th of July in Harbor Springs

By Maureen Abood On July 3, 2013 · 5 Comments · In Grains and Legumes, Salads, Stories and Recipes, Summer, Vegan, Vegetables, Vegetarian
The 4th of July picnic menu here on Main Street is always a great topic of discussion in my family, one that entertains us not just in the days leading up to the 4th, but throughout the year. We kick around whether we need a tent, how many hot dogs to buy, which soda is [...]
