No-Knead Focaccia
I was very excited to try this no-knead focaccia recipe which makes a dough with a lot of water. In fact, this has the highest amount of water used than any other Food Wishes dough. It holds big bubbles in the baked dough and because of the long fermentation time, has a far superior flavor.
Fasoliyyeh Bi Z-Zayt (Syrian Green Beans with Olive Oil)
I learned how to make this while visiting my husband's family in Syria. It can be a healthy, fast, easy vegetarian/vegan main dish for lunch or dinner that is surprisingly filling when eaten with pita bread, or it can be a flavorful side dish.
Cucumber Gazpacho
This summer-ready cucumber gazpacho recipe has an underlying sweetness from honeydew and honey, while the sherry vinegar sharpens those flavors. Serve it with soft herbs, a yogurt drizzle, olive oil-toasted bread cubes, or delicate-tasting seafood, such as crab.
