Middle Eastern Kibbeh
This Middle Eastern Kibbeh recipe is inspired by a dish traditionally made with lamb, but beef is acceptable, too. I prefer it shaped into patties and fried, but it's often baked in restaurants. Serve kibbeh with tahini, a sesame seed paste.
Coconut Shrimp
These coconut shrimp are rolled in a coconut beer batter before frying. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce — I use orange marmalade, mustard, and horseradish mixed to taste for a dipping sauce.
Ricotta Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
A combo of sweet, fresh pineapple paired with a tangy ricotta cake makes for a deliciously decadent flavor combo. Don't use skim ricotta for this—it's too watery, and won't provide the flavor that makes this cake so good.
