COOKBOOK TITLE

Plate with an omelette topped with red chili slices, served with green olives, sliced pita bread, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, and greens.

Nothing welcomes the weekend like the smell and sound of a cracklings herb Ijeh in olive oil on the stovetop. This thin herb frittata like, is a delicious mixture of eggs and herbs. In Palestine it’s often made with finely chopped parsley and onions. I like the addition of fresh mint, jalapeños and garlic. A sprinkling of allspice and sumac might sound weird but is so delicious in this egg dish. When I was a child we often sang songs about siti’s (grandmas) house and the ijeh cooked in olive oil.

Assorted fresh ingredients including green onions, garlic bulbs, red chili peppers, a bowl of yellow mixture, parsley, and mint leaves on a light gray surface.
Plate with chopped greens, sliced scallions, and two red chili peppers, next to a bottle of olive oil and minced garlic in a small dish on a light surface.
