| Couscous Walnut Cherry Salad |
Salad |
Middle Eastern |
Tiny couscous grains are made from semolina, the same wheat product that is used in making pasta. Like pasta, it is dried, and has a subtle flavor that adapts well to a variety of flavorings and additions, and it is equally good served hot with a sauce or cold in a salad. For this recipe, use a box of plain couscous, without added seasonings. After a brief sojourn in hot water, it is ready to use. |

| Fat-Free Baba Ghanoush |
Vegetable |
Middle Eastern |
Note: If you want to add about a tablespoon or two of olive oil, it will make it even smoother (although of course it won't be fat free any more). Baba Ghanoush is usually served as a dip, cold, with pita bread (like you would serve humus or tzatziki). It also works well as a sauce over steamed veggies like carrots, zucchini, or broccoli. |

There is no reason you couldn't use Tahini instead of grinding the sesame seeds into a butter. However, you'll have to drain some of the oil from the tahini, or else the halvah won't solidify well. You could probably let the tahini separate, and then use some of the solid part, and add a little oil. The original recipe suggested using unhulled sesame seeds. I made it that way, and wasn't very satisfied with the results. Using hulled seeds will result in a slightly less sesame tasting, and lighter colored halvah. |
