It is a popular food throughout the Middle East.”(Wiki)

It is raining strawberries here. I do not know how many pounds of strawberries we have consumed so far. Couple of weeks back they were for selling for 99 cents a pound. The big, bright red strawberries are luscious & irresistible, & moment I see them my limbs freeze at the spot till I get to grab a few boxes. This preserve is one of the things I did with them. Not just with toasts, a small spoon of the preserve is serving me well to satisfy my after meal “dessert” craving.

If you want a healthy green herb sauce bursting with flavors, this is it! Chimichurri is a traditional Argentinian sauce; the main ingredients in it being Parsley, Garlic, Pepper & Olive Oil. It is used as widely in Argentina as ketchup is used in America. This flavorful sauce is sometimes used as a marinade, for grilled meat ( I could do some fish & shrimp too…). The flavors and ingredients of Chimichurri are probably similar to the cuisine of Spain & Italy. The overall compositions, taste and preparation are similar to French persillade.

Hummus is Chickpeas in Arabic. And as everyone knows there are a lot of variations to the traditional Hummus. I love Middle Eastern food, with all the flavors in it, but when I cook at home I do tweak it to cater to my taste and mood. This is a very spicy hummus with a tinge of sweetness of the roasted bell pepper. The traditional Hummus calls for the use of Tahini, But I have used whole sesame seeds instead. I like the crunch of the broken sesame seeds, as well as the coarse peanuts that I have used here.
