    Braised Wide Green Beans in Olive oil

    Contrary to what most people think Palestinian food is rich in vegetables. Some of the humblest dishes are my favorites like this green beans stew in tomatoes and olive oil. This dish is a Middle Eastern vegetarian one-pot dish. In Lebanon it’s often called (Loubia bi al zeit and in Palestine Fasoulia bi al Zeit) The Beauty of these one pot dishes is the simplicity of the preparation process and the humble ingredients that yield to delicious comforting flavors once cooked to

    Kousa Mahshi (Stuffed Squash in a Tomatoes Broth)

    The word mahshi in Arabic means “stuffed” so kousa mahshi would mean stuffed zucchini. Arabs in general and especially Palestinians love to stuff anything from meats to vegetables. We even stuff our meats with stuffed vegetables ;). Stuffed vegetables are definitely one of my favorites. From zucchini, to eggplants, carrots, onions, cabbage, grape leaves, potatoes, tomatoes and even cucumbers can be stuffed. We use a special tool called “makwara” to hallow the veggies out. But

    Fire Roasted Baba Ghanouj with Tomatoes

    This is my grandmother's smoked tomato Baba Ghanouj. This is similar to the traditional Baba Ghanouj but instead of tahini you add tomatoes. The smoked creamy Aubergines, the sweet summer tomatoes and a nice zesty kick from the fresh garlic and jalapeños makes this dip addictive. It's often served part of a mezze platter or spread or as a dip accompanying grilled meats with lots of charred pita bread. Its also great as a dip with vegetables, and crackers and also delicious on
