This recipe is probably the most requested of all the things I make, but it’s not my own: the original comes from Orna and Ella in Tel Aviv, and there are tons of reproductions of their recipe online, including this one from Food 52, which is the basis for the one I’m sharing here. The sauce is really versatile, and can be used as a dip for veggies or pita, or spooned onto nachos in the place of regular old sour cream. It’s also really great on fish.
Plum and Peach Jam on Gluten-Free Oatcakes
I took my friend’s market share this week while she’s away, and wondered what to do with the two smallest plums I have ever seen in my life (see picture). When I got home they had become mushy, so I decided to make a jam with them. I also used a peach (well, they told me it was a peach, but it looks suspiciously like a nectarine…) that had gone mealy–my least favorite thing about fruit. I had to put the jam on something, so I made some gluten-free oatcakes, too. I had everything this morning for breakfast. Yay breakfast!
Liquid Parfait
This super breakfast smoothie is one of my favorite grab-and-go foods. Good and good for you!
Lamb Stuffed Peppers
“He don’t eat no meat? …Oh that’s OK, that’s OK–I make lamb.” Fear not: I have a recipe for a vegetarian stuffed pepper, too. I’ll link it when I post it.
Salmon with Sweet Leeks
I recently found myself with an abundance of leeks. My original goal was to simply make sure I didn’t waste them, but I soon spent the better part of my afternoon making leek things. Here is how I incorporated them into my lunch–I’d never made anything like this before, so I just twirled my spice rack around and went with it. And it worked!
Chocolate Raspberry Bars
I am really, truly bad at baking. I don’t like to follow instructions. But this is the easiest dessert ever, and it’s both gluten-free (if you want it to be) and fracking delicious!
Doctored Tahini
Tahini (sesame paste) is healthy and easy to use, and goes well with lots of other foods as a dip, dressing, or spread.
