Lamb and Eggplant Casserole

Kaitlin — Thu, 22 Dec 2022 10:00:27 +0000

I have made this Lamb and Eggplant Casserole, adapted from Maureen Abood’s Eggplant with Lamb, Tomato and Pine Nuts recipe, multiple times. And there is only one word for my feelings about this recipe: obsessed. This Lebanese dish made with layers of eggplant, spiced lamb, and tomato sauce topped with cheese is going to become one...

Pressure Cooker Persian Lamb and Herb Stew

Kaitlin — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 10:00:23 +0000

Note: I was sent a copy of The Instant Pot Kosher Cookbook, 100 Recipes to Nourish Body and Soul in order to write this post. Opinions are mine alone. It is most certainly Instant Pot season! Work (at least for me) is busy this time of year, and yet, I crave meals that take a... Read More »

Smoky Baba Ganoush

Kaitlin — Thu, 10 Sep 2020 10:00:38 +0000

Smoky Baba Ganoush is one of those appetizers that basically any time I see it on a menu, I feel the need to order it. The eggplant-based appetizer, originating from Lebanon, uses grilled eggplant, tahini, olive oil, and lemon juice to make a smoky dip that is perfect for outdoor eating. It’s also a great...

Sumac Scented Eggplant and Chickpeas

Kaitlin — Wed, 30 Jan 2019 11:00:47 +0000

Have you ever used ground sumac? Ground sumac is made from dried ground berries from the sumac bush, which is native to the Middle East. The flavor is similar to lemons, sour and tangy, but less tart than lemon juice. I purchased ground sumac a while back patiently waiting for the “right” recipe to cross... Read More »

Lamb and Roasted Cauliflower Stew with Harissa

Kaitlin — Tue, 06 Nov 2018 11:00:08 +0000

It really takes me a while to adjust to colder weather. I feel like I’m always freezing! So a warm and hearty meal is a must this time of year, especially a soup or stew. This recipe for Lamb and Roasted Cauliflower Stew with Harissa from Saveur ups the warmth with some spiciness from harissa,... Read More »

Red Lentil and Butternut Squash Soup

Kaitlin — Fri, 19 Oct 2018 11:00:07 +0000

It’s most certainly soup season! My husband says he doesn’t like soup, but he honestly just doesn’t like thin broth soups, like traditional chicken noodle soup. So I’m always in search of soup recipes that are thicker based — not necessarily from cream. Pureed vegetable soups have become a favorite in my house! This recipe from... Read More »

Spiced Lamb with Saffron Couscous

Kaitlin — Fri, 14 Sep 2018 11:00:46 +0000

Because I usually have a recipe in mind when I go food shopping, it’s pretty rare that I come home with a rogue ingredient. But recently, while picking up ground beef and sausage for my Meatballs and Tomato Sauce at Primal Supply, I noticed that they had ground lamb, and felt compelled to buy it.... Read More »

Slow Cooker Coconut Rice Pudding

Kaitlin — Fri, 03 Nov 2017 10:00:26 +0000

This past Sunday was crum-my. It rained ALL day. So I was in comfort food mode. Along with making another batch of Lemony Red Lentil Soup, I decided to make a rice pudding recipe in my slow cooker, heavily inspired by Phyllis Good’s Stock the Crock recipe for Coconut Rice Pudding. My version for Slow... Read More »

White Bean Tahini Dip with Toasted Pitas

Kaitlin — Thu, 26 Oct 2017 11:00:47 +0000

Note: I was sent a Labell Board to write this recipe for White Bean Tahini Dip with Toasted Pitas. Opinions are mine alone. Cutting boards are a staple of any kitchen. They (of course) are used to cut, chop, mince, and dice vegetables, fruits, and protein for meals, but I love to also use them... Read More »

Hashweh (Spiced Ground Beef with Pistachios Over Rice)

Kaitlin — Mon, 28 Aug 2017 11:00:31 +0000

Note: This post is sponsored by Moyer Beef. All opinions are mine alone. It’s definitely still summer weather for the most part, but this past week, we’ve had a bit of a cool down in Philly. Which got me thinking about more fall inspired dishes. Hashweh, or rice stuffing, is a wonderfully flavorful ground meat... Read More »
