Kuku Sabzi
Kuku sabzi is a traditional Persian dish that is an herb-heavy frittata. The egg is really just a binder to hold all of the herbs together; it is not the main component of this dish. Serve with flatbread, yogurt, pickled onions, feta, and pomegranate seeds. It is wonderful served hot or at room temperature. Great light lunch or an appetizer for a casual cocktail party.
Grilled Peppers
I tasted these smoky grilled peppers at a summer party, and they were delicious, so I had to share my friend's recipe. Use as many colors of bell pepper as you like. We add some sliced jalapeño for heat.
Clone of a Cracker Jack
This peanutty, caramelly Cracker Jack popcorn recipe tastes close to the original. It's very easy to prepare at home and makes great gifts! For a thicker coating of caramel, reduce the popped popcorn to 10 cups.
