Jezebel Sauce
This jezebel sauce is a sweet surprise to the palate. It is an unusual combination, but my guests have raved about it. Adjust the amount of horseradish to suit your taste. Served over crackers with cream cheese, it makes a wonderful appetizer.
The Best Veggie Sandwich
A local restaurant used to serve a version of this sandwich but when they discontinued it, I experimented and made it better with the addition of dry roasted sesame seeds and using English Muffins instead of whole wheat bread. Garnish each with a black olive, if desired.
Authentic Lebanese Fattoush
This Lebanese fattoush recipe is good for hot weather. The salad uses two unusual ingredients: sumac and purslane. Sumac, usually sold ground, is made from ground red berries and used in Middle Eastern, mainly Lebanese, cooking. Purslane is a succulent with a lemony flavor and makes a nice salad green. I find them at farmers' markets.
