Lunch
Crispy Pita With Chickpeas and Yogurt (Fattet Hummus)
This creamy, crunchy breakfast dish also pairs well with vegetables, fish, or lamb come dinnertime. The canned chickpeas pick up some flavor from a quick simmer with garlic.
Smoky Eggplant Dip
If you don’t have a grill or a gas stovetop, you can broil the eggplants in the oven, turning occasionally, until charred and tender.
One-of-Each Soup
Originally, this curried soup was served cold. Given the winter chill in the air, however, we tried it hot and discovered it to be even better.
Deconstructed Falafel Salad
Get all the flavors of falafel with crispy roasted chickpeas, crunchy crouton-like pita chips, crisp cucumber, and a lemon-tahini dressing.
Spiced Quinoa and Chickpea Bites
Inspired by the flavors of kefta, these protein-packed vegetarian bites are equally good tucked into a pita or served on their own.
Spiced Lamb Wraps with Ramp Raita
The lamb for these wraps—bursting with flavorful spices and herbs—is cooked in the oven, but it would also be amazing cooked on a grill.
Crawfish Salad
Pile this creamy seafood salad into hot dog buns for an easy summer sandwich or serve over greens for lunch.
