Za’atar Potato Chips with Whipped Feta Dip

February 21, 2020 No Comments

If you think the recipes on this blog are a window into what I eat in my daily life, you’re sorely mistaken. Sure, there are dishes that work their way into my weekly rotation. But no I’m certainly not hand pleating dumplings on a Tuesday night. I want the food that appears on this blog to be special. ‘Company’s coming’ kind of food. Or ‘I feel like puttering around and being cozy in the kitchen’ kind of meals. So, when I call for deep frying, please believe this is not an everyday occurrence in our house. I don’t do it effortlessly on a daily basis. So yeah, I don’t ask you to deep fry something lightly. But when I do call for it in a recipe, you best believe it’s for a good reason and these Za’atar Potato Chips are a VERY good reason.

Peanut Butter Kale Potstickers

Ah, the potsticker! Endlessly adaptable and impossible to pass up. Sure, almost every dumpling could be described this way, but I do think the potsticker, with its irresistible crispy bottom, is a special case. The Japanese borrowed the guotie cooking-style to make the gyoza for a reason. But I hesitate to call today’s Peanut Butter Kale Potstickers guotie or gyoza because the filling is far from traditional. So, the Chinese to English translation of the word “guotie” (literally: ‘pot stick’) is probably all these dumplings deserve.

Shawarma Home Fries with Toum & Red Cabbage Slaw

Apparently, the Super Bowl is this weekend and I’m not going to watch it. In all the years I’ve had this blog, I’ve feigned a small amount of interest in the annual sporting event. You know, just for the excuse to make chicken wings or some cooky take on a late-night favorite, but no more. I made these Shawarma Home Fries because they seemed like a good idea and they were so I’m sharing them with you now. Their appearance coinciding with the Super Bowl is purely incidental. I have never enjoyed football but it’s totally cool if you do and if you want to eat these Shawarma Home Fries while you watch the game, so much the better.

Blistered Poblano White Bean Soup

Okay, I know, another vegetarian recipe. Honestly, I swear there’s no agenda behind this meat-free spree. These last three recipes have been an accurate representation of how I’ve been eating lately and how I like to eat in the aftermath of the holiday season. After a parade of mashed potatoes and roast beasts of all sorts, I tend to retreat into a more legume, bean, and vegetable-heavy way of life. It’s the return to sanity my body seems to crave. Although this need for sanity does nothing to allay my Toblerone cravings…but that’s beside the point. The point is this Blistered Poblano White Bean Soup is nothing more than business as usual as far as January is concerned.
