Some of the recipes you'll find inside

Seared Halloumi and Vegetable Salad Bowl

This salad incorporates some flavors and ingredients you might find on a Greek meze spread into a filling meal bowl. Eggplant, radicchio, and red peppers; zucchini and jarred artichokes fill our bowl. Seared halloumi is distributed throughout the bowl to balance out each bite. Lastly, an herbaceous honey-thyme vinaigrette contrasts the salty cheese and bitter greens.

Baharat Cauliflower and Eggplant with Chickpeas

Warm spice and cauliflower are a smart pairing and here the Middle Eastern and North African spice blend Baharat brings out the nuttiness and subtle sweetness of this cruciferous vegetable. We roast the cauliflower with eggplant to turn up the contrasting textures and flavors. Plus, stirring in chickpeas turns roasted vegetables into dinner. Serving the mix with a lemony tahini sauce, yogurt and pickled red onions enlivens the warm-spiced dish while suiting it up for scooping with soft warm pita bread.

Pomegranate-Glazed Chicken with Potatoes and Mustard Greens

This weeknight dish of butterflied roast chicken and vegetables pairs the warmth and subtle heat of baharat seasoning with sweet-sour pomegranate molasses brushed on as a complexly flavored glaze. A side of browned potatoes cooks underneath the bird in the skillet and, along with mustard greens, gets flavored with its savory juices.

Hummus with Crispy Mushrooms and Sumac

Hummus makes for a great snack but the hummusiyas of the Middle East show this dish can be a hearty full meal. These restaurants devoted to hummus serve generous dishes of creamy hummus adorned with bright or spiced toppings and served alongside pita and pickles. Here, we opt for sautéed mushrooms, made irresistible by oyster mushrooms. Chickpeas tossed in sumac with a squeeze of caramelized lemon offer a bright flavor counterpoint. More texture comes from a final sprinkling of chopped slightly sweet pistachios. Just add a spoon and dinner is served.
