Charred Eggplant With Tahini
Eggplant is a staple vegetable all throughout theĀ Mediterranean. One of the best applications for this vegetable is to simply be charred, grilled and doused in tahini sauce. Charring the skin of the eggplant gets rid of the bitter taste, but having the skin provides color and nutrients. Roast it in the oven, and cover it with a sauce of tahini, garlic, and lemon juice, sprinkleĀ over some herbs and you have an amazing dish.
Israeli Salad
This salad is so crispy and refreshing, it can really save a meal. All you do is diceĀ up some tomatoes, cucumbers, and a bit of red onion, and combine it with tons of parsley. Squeeze over some lemon juice and you won’t believe how bright it is. To bring out even more flavor, add some lemon zest to it and it will really sing.
