Tahini Creamed Spinach
Ingredients
1 10oz package fresh spinach
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp dried garlic slices
½ cup tahini
½ cup water
1 tsp fine sea salt
1 Tbsp Aleppo
Directions
In a heavy bottom skillet, heat the olive oil and garlic over medium heat.
When warmed through add the spinach and begin to stir to wilt.
When half wilted, add the tahini, water and salt and continue stirring continuously until the spinach is wilted and creamy.
Finish with Aleppo and enjoy right away. As the dish sits it can look separated, just give it a good stir and it will come back to creamy again.
Enjoy!
A thick, hearty broth for the autumnal, cooler days, that has become one of Israel’s most popular soups and heralded a national dish. Made from a plethora of orange-coloured vegetables including the seasonal pumpkin or squash, it is flavoured with fragrant herbs and warming spices to give a ray of sunshine in every mouthful.
My recipe for orange soup is delicious on its own, but even better with a swirl of cream, some sautéed chestnuts or toasted pumpkin seeds sprinkled on top, and always with a hunk of warm bread. This soup freezes well, but will keep fresh in the refrigerator for 5 days, if it lasts that long…
Known as the Italian macaron, the Ricciarelli is chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside, with a hint of rose water or almond essence for added flavour… this is the perfect Pesach biscuit, that can be served alongside the ubiquitous cinnamon ball with a cup of tea.
Chag Pesach Sameach!
A reimagining of hamantaschen, the hamantart is easy to make and has some fun twists, but still has the traditional poppyseed filling. A fun treat for Purim that is easy to make!
