Chef Meny Vaknin's Middle Eastern roots have inspired these delicious, no-fuss lunch and dinner recipes
Lunch: Old City Hummus with Pita
2 cups canned chickpeas, washed
1/3 cup tahini
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp ground cumin
Olive oil
Paprika
1 egg, hard-boiled
Wash chickpeas. Blend 2 cups of chickpeas with lemon juice, tahini, garlic and cumin in food processor until consistency is smooth (add more water for a thinner hummus). Add salt to taste. Garnish with paprika, olive oil, whole chickpeas, and sliced hardboiled egg. Serve with warm pita.
Dinner: Moroccan-Style Poached Fish
Base sauce from vegetarian shakshuka recipe above
4 cod fillets
Cilantro, chopped
