Pasta e Lenticchie
Adapted from Not Another Cooking and made vegetarian. Similar to Pasta e Fagioli, but made with dried lentils and creamier because cheese is mixed in,

Extremely rich Millionaire Shortbread recipe (like a homemade Twix bar). Usually a crowd pleaser, but maybe a bit too much caramel. I should try this with half the caramel, for a thinner layer.
I find this curry a bit too soupy, and I actually like the version from Yeung Man Cooking a bit better. On the other hand, this one is simpler and involves less chopping, so there's that. And it's still really tasty. I like it better without the nut butter.
Pretty tasty one pot chickpea curry, though I find the crunchy spices a bit weird
Grenadine syrup made with actual pomegranate juice, as it was done in the old days. Use it in cocktails or in soft drinks
Good way to use up a bunch of chard I sometimes get in my grocery basket. Basically a baked omelette. Good with a salad.
Easy and tasty. This is quickly becoming a staple dish.
This is another decent key lime bar recipe, that's a bit simpler and more tangy than the Little Spice Jar version, with a slightly thinner base.
This is my preferred key lime bar recipe.
These take a bit long, but they are a nice change from your standard roast or mashed potatoes
This is my favourite lentil soup. Healthy, easy, quick, delicious.
This one comes from my friend Jennifer.
This is a good way to use up a spare eggplant, which happens more often then you might imagine if you get a grocery basket delivered on a weekly basis.
Suprisingly simple and tasty. Use good quality sesame oil. You don't need to use Japnaese rice.
I usually buy berber spice from my local ethnic organic grocer, but this is still useful to have around in case I ever lose access to this place. I don't think it's quite authentic but would work in a pinch.
Ethiopian spiced butter, used to make Misir Wat and other dishes
I don't know if this is the best, but it's certainly a decent stir fry sauce
This is one of my favourite lentil dishes. Absolutely delicious, even if you don't have niter kibbeh.
A good recipe, if a bit more complicated then it needs to be.
My own simplified, vegan version of Pasta e Fagioli, adapted from Once Upon a Chef.
A little heavy on the tomato but still pretty good.
One of my favorite cocktails. It's like a sour, but dialed back a notch so that the base spirit shines through.
Adapted from various sources around the Internet. I add beans, to make it more meal-like, not just a side dish. I don't bother measuring out the onion or pepper. And I use vegetable broth to make it vegetarian.
This is an amalgamation of various recipes I found on the Internet for southern black eyed peas. Can easily be made vegetarian by omitting the bacon and using vegetable broth.
This version of Hoppin' John uses a lot more peas, so it's less soupy. Omit ham hock for vegetarian, use vegetable broth.
