Roasted Cauli & Chickpea Salad

I might as well call is a NO-BISSLI salad at this point! But sadly, I’m taking a break from trashing up my salads with nosh but I still need that crunch – so I roasted up some chickpeas and I don’t miss the Bissli…that much.

Tuna Couscousotto

We’re big on #meatlessmonday in my house, which is usually vegan (falafel! refried bean tacos! Smashed impossible burgers!) but going Pescatarian works too and I’m a tuna gal all the way.

This Couscousotto has all the risotto feels, inspired by Israeli-style tuna salad. Makes a great lunch or light dinner with a side of salad.

To view the reel on Instagram click here.

Tuna Couscousotto

1 can tuna packed in olive oil
8.8oz Ptitim or Israeli couscous
1 cup marinara sauce
1-2 tbsp harissa
2 cups vegetable stock
2 tbsp capers
1/2 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, for finishing (I didn’t have but I would use it if I did!)

Method:

Drain the olive oil from the tuna into a sauté pan. Add the couscous and sauté until toasted. Add marinara, harissa and stock, bring to a simmer. Add tuna and capers, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper. Continue to simmer, uncovered, over low heat until creamy and the couscous is cooked through, 10-15 minutes.

Hawaij Apple Crisp with Halva Crumble


Fruit Crisp is never about a recipe for me. If I find I have some fruit that’s gotten a little too soft and wrinkly for my taste – it’s time for some baked fruit – with whatever toppings I’ve got in the pantry. Lucky for you (and luckier for me!!) I had tons of halva leftover from a gig and I wanted to use it up. Add some hawaij for coffee – a delicious chai-like Yemenite blend, and it just takes it over the top!

You can get my TK Hawaij for Coffee on Amazon! DO NOT use Hawaij for soup!!
