Aush (Afghani Chili)
Aush is a delicious alternative to American-style chili. It's not too spicy but combines intriguing flavors. I adapted this recipe from a traditional Afghani family favorite. It may be cooked in a slow cooker, Dutch oven, or soup pot. Try it also with ground lamb or ground turkey.
Creamy Lemon Dressing
This creamy lemon sauce makes a tangy salad dressing or a great drizzle over grilled fish. Try it over a butter lettuce salad with grape tomatoes and English cucumber.
