Shorbet Adas (Middle Eastern Lentil Soup)
Healthy, tasty, and easy. Lots of versions around the Internet, but this one is mine

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.
