30-Minute Middle Eastern Cookbook – For Sale on Amazon Now!
Never underestimate the power of a good sauce, dip, condiment, or spread! And Middle Eastern sauces can jazz up any cuisine. At the risk of sounding like the Martin Short character in Only Murders in the Building, I love sauces, dips, and spreads! They are so versatile. Having a few on hand will save you when culinary creativity escapes you.
Middle Easter Sauces from the book that I’m in love with:
- Muhammara (pg 43)
- Labneh with Mint (pg 40)
- Harissa Paste (pg 122)
Recently I had the family over and cooked out of my latest book, 30 Minute Middle Eastern Cookbook.
I made the Beef and Lamb Kofta (pg 79) and used the leftovers to make perfect little sliders slathering Muhammara on the rolls topped with Kofta and a thick slice of tomato.
You can brighten up plain rice with Labneh with Mint, or dollop it on Lentils and Rice (pg 98).
Lastly there’s Harissa which is available in most grocery stores, Or make your own, the recipe is available in my book and is good on just about everything! Mix it with yogurt if you like a milder version and serve with roast chicken and/or vegetables. Or spoon some over an omelet for breakfast. I love it on baked cod.
With an assortment of sauces and warm pita bread you have an instant meze party. Happy Saucing!
