This countrified soup is often served in late March for Nowruz, the Persian new year. With beans, vegetables, noodles, and yogurt, it is a meal in itself.
This salad evolved from my father's favorite road-trip snack-carrot sticks with roasted almonds, lemon juice, and salt. I've punched it up with fresh ginger, lots of parsley, and dates.
With just a hint of sweetness, this bright, bracing uncooked relish is an antidote to all the saccharine jellylike cranberry sauces out there (unless you're into that sort of thing).
Sadly, you're not going to be able to waltz down to the corner store and pick up escargots and shells. We ordered the Saveurs brand, along with the shells, from Amazon. This recipe is worth the wait.
Use the largest skillet you have (a straight-sided 12" is ideal) and a fish spatula.the thin angled edge is just right for helping potatoes release from the skillet.
Some dishes are best when they are as plain and simple as possible. Whole fish fried in butter and served with lemon and parsley potatoes: That is simple and tasty!
Fragrant, herbaceous chermoula sauce acts as both a marinade and a dressing for this pretty, Moroccan-inspired salad of carrot ribbons, crisp cucumbers, tangy feta, and bright pomegranate seeds.
