Bob's Kabobs

Most people think of chunks of meat on a skewer when they think of kabobs, but this is another style known as kofta kabobs. Now that grilling season is upon us, this is definitely something you're going to want to work into the rotation. Serve with grilled pita bread and a blend of diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions sprinkled with salt and olive oil, all topped with freshly chopped parsley and dried sumac.

Make-Ahead Moroccan Lamb Stew

This Moroccan-style stew with ground lamb was inspired by the wonderful spices and flavors used in Moroccan cuisine. We like to double the recipe and freeze one portion for later. We typically serve the stew with warm bread and a salad.

Mediterranean Meat Pies (Sfeeha)

This savory Lebanese meat pie recipe is a takeoff on one from my Lebanese mother-in-law (who is one of the very best cooks I know). She makes the dough from scratch, but I use puff pastry instead to save time. These little pies are great for an appetizer or as a side dish!

Margaret's Keftedes (Greek Meatballs)

This is my yia yia's recipe--a family favorite straight from the village of Kyparissia. Serve as an appetizer or with tzatziki, Greek salata, and pita or pasta for a full meal. They taste best served at room temp and make for wonderful leftovers. If you don't care for lamb, try using all beef instead.
