Meze lunch!

I made three dips this morning in order to have this dream lunch. I made Muhammara, a red pepper and walnut dip, Moroccan Zahlouk, an eggplant salad, and hummus. 

This is a baked Zahlouk from the book The Vegetarian Table North Africa. So good!

 

Tagine Dream.

Before simmering away...

My plate.

Perfection. Recipe from The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen. It really doesn’t matter which vegetable tagine recipe you use, they are pretty much all delicious.

 

Tacos and giant cookies!

 

The recipe is at Vegan Richa. The Ultimate Giant Chocolate Chunk cookies.

Soy chunks hydrated in hot water, drained them fried in oil with onion, garlic, cilantro, spices and red salsa. Delicious! 

Fattoush and tofu.

Fattoush (Middle Eastern salad) with lemon garlic sumac dressing and Korean style tofu. So good.

 

Moroccan tagine and harissa.

I made harissa and Moroccan vegetable stew with couscous. It was sooooo good. The vegetables are flavored with ras el hanout, turmeric, paprika, garlic and cooked in a tomatoey broth. The spicy and garlicky harissa adds the perfect amount of heat. 

 

Breaded vegetables and Egyptian Basbousa.

Delicious breaded zucchini and eggplant.

Egyptian Basbousa.

 

Mediterranean food!

Baklava!

Lahbco on Instagram has a beautiful muhammara dip. It’s a red pepper and walnut dip that is smoky, sweet and savory. 

The best wrap ever. 

Vegan Richa falafel recipe is perfect.
