This Turkish appetizer is sweet and creamy - just right for a dinner party or afternoon tea. Start it the night before to soften up the apricots. There are three options for the stuffing, kaymak is the most traditional, while marscapone makes a great substitute. Some use strained Greek yogurt called labneh for this job (regular Greek yogurt will be too runny) - consider sweetening it with a little honey if you want to cut the tart flavor a bit.

Get ready to have every other type of rice ruined for you. If you’re a stranger to the magical world of crispy Persian rice, or tahdig, let me tell you it’s a game changer. Literally translating to bottom of the pot, tahdig infuses long-grain rice with fragrant saffron and tons of butter to create a luxurious dish begging to be cracked. Given the fact that Nowruz (Persian New Year) is right around the corner, there’s never a better time to give this recipe a try! When I met my husband, I was thrusted into the world of Persian cooking, discovering a new frontier of rich stews and vibrant rices. I became determined to master tahdig for him, so I started shadowing his mother and aunt in the kitchen to learn their ways. While I might not be trying to become an ASMR influencer, I’ve now dedicated a huge chunk of my Instagram to videos documenting the sounds of crunchy rice (give the people what they want!). To put it simply, you par cook rice, then mix some with yogurt, egg, saffron and butter to lay on the bottom of the pot before you add the rest of the rice. You then rely on sound and smell to tell when the bottom has become golden brown perfection. This variety (my husband’s favorite) adds sliced potato first for a crispy starch on starch masterpiece that you’ll be picking at long before it hits the table to serve with any Persian stew or kebab (maybe my recipe for Fesenjan, a Persian pomegranate and walnut stew?!). Here are some tips to help you find success on your first go: 1. Rinse your rice well before soaking in salt water. You want to get off any excess starch, as well as letting the rice start to absorb some of that salty water. 2. Use a cheap non-stick pot! It always works better for an even crust that never sticks. 3. Trust your other senses! This is a Bird Box moment, so you want to make sure you hear a slow and steady sizzle and then pull it when the rice smells toasted and fragrant (it will resemble fresh popcorn!). Give potato tahdig a go. There’s never a better time for starch madness.

There is something old-fashioned and comforting about a cream sauce. It's so rare to come across these days, and I think it's time we welcomed it back. My paternal grandmother was very keen on chicken with finely sliced button mushrooms and cream, which I remember fondly if blandly, and although you could certainly fry a panful of mushrooms in butter and add cream to it, I much prefer this funghi-free and fiercely garlicky version. I love this best, I think, with plain basmati rice, but I can't deny there is an equally good case to be made for some simply steamed new potatoes alongside instead. And please read the Additional Information section at the end of the recipe before proceeding. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.

Notes: Fillo comes in all shapes and sizes these days. The variety I can find, Athens brand, weighs 1 pound and contains two 8-oz bags of 20 sheets each measuring 9 x 14-inches. This size sheet is perfect for strudels. If your fillo comes in the larger sheets, cut it in half so that it’s roughly 9 x 14-inches. (Don’t cut the fillo until you’re ready to assemble. See step 4 below.) If you’re making a large pan of spanakopita, this small size of fillo is kind of pain — use two sheets per layer.
These traditional potato dumplings from Germany make a great side dish but are also awesome as a standalone dish. Made two ways!
I'm certainly no expert on Middle Eastern cuisine; but one thing I am certain of is I can’t get enough of it. The bright, acidic and spice forward flavors filled with varying textures and colors are often just what I’m craving. Plus, I have a penchant for over ordering whenever I go out to eat (Must Try All The Things) so Mezze style eating was pretty much tailor-made for me. You get to try a little of everything; but clearing all the plates is a truly attainable goal (and one that I strive for at all times in life). Now just looking at this recipe may have you running for the nearest Middle Eastern joint in your ‘hood, but fear not! It’s actually much easier than it looks. The keys for success here? MEP (mise en place) all of your ingredients in advance so you can quickly whiz up the different layers in the food processor; all you’ll need is a quick rinse between each batch of flavorful dip. From Game Day to Viewing Parties to Galentine’s Celebrations; this hearty dip has all all your snacking needs covered! Don’t like your foods touching? Serve each component in separate bowls for the mezze board of your dreams! Not expecting a crowd? Just pick one or two of your favorite layers and whip that up as a stand alone dip. Serve it with easy Homemade Za’atar Pita Chips and you’ll never go back to store bought. Recipe and Headnote Molly Adams
