Lamb Kofte

Authentic lamb meatballs like you'd get in a Middle Eastern restaurant that are easy to make at home yet really quite hard to resist.

Spicy Lamb Meatballs

Gorgeously spiced and juicy lamb meatballs are easier to prepare than you'd think. And when served with a creamy harissa yogurt sauce, they're even easier to eat.

Sheet Pan Beef Skewers

We like this recipe because it’s both kid-friendly and kid-chef-friendly. But it doesn’t taste like it, we promise...even the adults will clamor for more. Did we mention barely any cleanup?

1 hr

Whole Grain Sourdough Pita

The familiar pita bread but made with whole grain flour and sourdough starter. Still puffs. Still amazes. In looks as well as taste.

Greek-Style Sheet Pan Chicken

An entire meal on a sheet pan. That pretty sums up this weeknight meal that's short on fuss and long on Greek-inspired flavor and is actually healthy yet doesn't taste like it.

1 hr

Silken Tofu with Pine Nuts and Pickled Chiles

"To call this silken tofu 'magical' would be an understatement.” and “Umami party for sure in your mouth!” and "My boyfriend, who dislikes tofu, ate most of it." That’s what we’re hearing about this stunner.

15 mins

Za’atar Cacio e Pepe

It's Ottolenghi. Enough said. (Well, okay, we have to say more. Like how everyone who’s tried this swears it’ll forevermore be their simple supper standby.)

35 mins

Vegetable Antipasti Plate

A centuries-old trick for preserving (and, we dare say, vastly improving) a glut of fresh ingredients that would otherwise go to waste.

4 hrs 30 mins

Spicy Mushroom Lasagna

Ottolenghi does it yet again with another inspired melding of ingredients and techniques that upends our notion of what any recipe should and could be.

Old-Fashioned Minestrone Soup

An updated Italian classic made with all the usual suspects along with an unexpected drizzle of pesto that turns a frugal veggie-bin catch-all into something truly astounding.

Horta ~ Boiled Greens with Garlic

A classic and nutritious way to get your daily mix of greens—kale, anyone?—that's based on Greek tradition...complete with a little added oomph.

30 mins

Roasted Potatoes with Dill

A handful of cheap ingredients. The exact perfect temperature and timing. And a little patience, please, while spuds are elevated from simple to stellar.

1 hr 5 mins

Roast Chicken Thighs with Lemon

Shatteringly crisp skin. Tender, juicy meat. And pan juices you're gonna wanna sop up or soak up rather than let a drop go to waste.

40 mins

Couscous Salad with Fennel and Almonds

You could, of course, serve couscous plain. But why?! Makes little sense when you can quickly and easily toss in almonds and lemon and tuna and shaved fennel and literally be astounded.

20 mins

Muhammara ~ Red Pepper-Walnut Spread

Though not as well known stateside as hummus or baba ghanoush, this Mediterranean classic is equally enticing. Let us introduce you to its subtly smoky and sweetly tangy awesomeness.

1 hr 15 mins

Eggplant Shakshuka

The sultry, smoky flavor of ras el hanout permeates this simple supper of eggs in tomato sauce, which takes on more sustenance than usual thanks to late-summer eggplant.
