What Is Shakshuka? Shakshuka (or shakshouka) is a flavorful Middle Eastern dish featuring poached eggs in a spiced tomato sauce with herbs. Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best shakshuka ingredients, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card. Avocado Oil – Used for sauteing the onions and garlic. Extra virgin olive oil works great as an alternative. Onion – I used a white onion, but you could also use red onion or shallots for a slightly different flavor profile....

These cutlets make an awesome dinner and pair perfectly with so many different things. Better still, they’ve got an awesome crunchy batter, and without all the faff of deep frying! Follow me… Chicken Cutlets First things first, just so we’re all on the same page… What are chicken cutlets? Chicken cutlets are simply boneless skinless chicken breasts, that have been halved to create thinner, even sized breasts. How do you make chicken cutlets?...

What Makes This Recipe So Good One of my favorite things about this recipe is right there in the name – sheet pan steak and fries. The steak and fries are cooked entirely on one pan! That means it’s super easy to make and even easier to clean up.A simple bearnaise sauce adds SO much to an already perfect steak. It’s rich, buttery, and creamy, and it only takes a couple of minutes in the microwave to whip up....

Even if your appetizer tastes just ok but you serve a delicious dipping sauce with it, your appetizer will be loved by everyone. And, today I am sharing one such recipe- Sour cream and onion dip. It’s a deliciously creamy and satisfying dip that is most commonly used as a chip dip but can make almost every appetizer taste great. Is sour cream and onion dip the same as French onion dip?...

What Makes This Recipe So Good The sous vide method is the best way to get reliably perfect meat every single time. Cooking the ribeye in a temp-controlled water bath lets the meat cook from the inside out with zero chance of overcooking (unless you have the temperature wrong).The water bath is really doing all of the work here, so there’s no standing over a stove or grill while the ribeyes cook....

If you haven’t tried experimenting with the precision cooking method at home yet, now’s the time! You can create restaurant style quality meals with ease. Even better… the Vermicular Musui–Kamado cue Tchaikovsky’s Love Theme. Vermicular sent me their Musui–Kamado cast iron induction cooker, and I was so impressed by the quality of the finished dish....

Things have changed quite a bit since I went vegetarian back in the early nineties. I was thirteen years old and living in suburban southeastern Pennsylvania at the time. There was a health food store a few miles away, which I found a little intimidating at the time, and maybe a few Chinese buffets nearby where I could get some rice and vegetables (no tofu to be found). So I basically subsisted on mostly salad and bagels until early adulthood....

There are certainly some foods that are all during autumn. I’m not sure what your fall favorites are, but mine are basically all of the main ingredients in this butternut squash stew! This stew is all about warming you up, and not just because it’s served piping hot, but also because it’s full of hearty ingredients and cozy flavors. The recipe is an adaptation of my pumpkin stew, which is inspired by Afghan cuisine....

Salads don’t need to be a boring and bland side dish with vegetables. It could also be a dish bursting with flavors and become the highlight of a meal. Like this spicy Indian baby potato salad recipe. This recipe is from the states in the eastern region of India where generally people prefer spicy food and mustard oil is used to flavor a lot of dishes. If you enjoy the sharpness of ingredients like wasabi or horse radish, you will like mustard oil too....

This is not overly spice if you are worried about the level of spiciness. Red chili flake is just enough to add a kick to the dish and smoked paprika is for flavor. You can always adjust the amount of chili as per your taste, but just don’t eliminate it entirely. If you are looking for an Easy Instant Pot version, here is an easy one-pot Instant Pot Chicken Pasta that is similar to this recipe....

As much as I love winter and all the comfort food that comes with it, things can start to get a bit blah by the time we reach late February. Do you agree? For the record, I will never get sick of my cozy soups and stews. I just find myself starting to crave lighter meals and fresher flavors around this time of year. That’s where stir-fries like this one come in!...

When I was a kid, my parents bought us a brown coconut as a fun little experiment–let’s see how we can open it!–and I have memories of my dad using tools in the kitchen and for some reason us making use of the oven to open this stubborn little nut? Unfortunately, my memories don’t include the actual consumption of the coconut, so whether or not we even successfully cracked it....

Pretty much, soft, creamy polenta topped with anything is delicious, and in my previous life, I used to serve a fancy three-day braised meat (in an entire bottle of wine! I mean, c’mon now) over this polenta and totally adored it. These days, we do a lot less meat and a lot more veggies, but this recipe surprised us. We expected, you know, soft polenta and earthy mushrooms, summery zucchini, herbaceous chimichurri, quick marinated tomatoes, a rich poached egg....

If you’ve ever had spirulina, you know that it’s a nutritional powerhouse that doesn’t exactly taste great. Spirulina, while very good for you, tastes like what it is: algae. So if you want to get it into your diet, you have a few choices — do your best to choke it down, take it in pill form, or do what I do, and disguise it in a tasty snack. These spirulina cookies are my favorite way to exercise that last option!...

As one of my most loved and most popular recipes, I had to include this in my Debut Cookbook ‘Comfy’! Preparing Butternut Squash Butternut squash makes such a delicious pasta sauce, and today I’m going to show you the best way to make it. To minimise prep, I like to just slice the butternut squash in half and roast it; as opposed to slicing, peeling and dicing the squash into small cubes....

For this recipe we’re going for boneless skinless chicken thighs and a really simple store-cupboard spice mix....

Have you ever had shepherd’s pie? Or cottage pie, shepherd’s pie’s cousin? I was actually unfamiliar with the dish until just a few years ago, until one day my husband asked if he could make a meatless shepherd’s pie with some leftover mashed potatoes we had. I can be a little bit of a control freak in the kitchen, so instead of letting him go ahead and make one, I went and made it myself....

This easy light weeknight dinner is also a perfect summer meal. Serve this with a fresh salad/ rice/ potatoes on the side for a complete meal. Well, it looks like Fish piccata, but the sauce doesn’t have any cream or parmesan cheese in it. if you are looking for an alternative to chicken, tilapia is also protein-rich, loaded with Omega-3, and low on calories. These are sold in fillets. While buying look for large fillets that are firm to touch....
