Chicken Koobideh Kabobs
Koobideh are Persian ground meat kabobs, so a bit different from the normal US fare, but they’re delightfully rich and aromatic. Cooked on the grill, it’s the perfect sort of dish for a hot summer’s night. For this version I…
Moroccan Pastilla
A pastilla is a type of savory pie, consisting of spiced bird of some sort or another encased in puff pastry. Variants can be found across the Mediterranean and into the Middle East, probably because they taste so good. Some quick…
