ots of vegetables highlight
Israeli food: olives, tomatoes,
bell peppers, onions and
cucumbers appear in
sandwiches and salads,
especially Israeli salad
(chopped tomatoes,
peppers, onions and
cucumbers with lots of
lemon and olive oil and
a big spoonful of sumac,
the mild spice that adds
dots of color to this
salad; if you'd like, add
a bit of ground cinna-
mon and lots of fresh
chopped parsley).
Just thinking about Tel Aviv and
Jaffa, I dream of Dr. Shakshuka and
the delicious stewed tomatoes cooked
with eggs this eatery is famous for.
SHAKSHUKA
3 Tbsp. olive oil
2 cups chopped onions
1 tsp. minced garlic
2 lbs. ripe, unpeeled plum toma-
toes, chopped (or 1 28-oz. can diced
tomatoes in juice)
1 red or yellow bell pepper,
chopped
kosher salt and pepper to taste
6 large eggs
Heat the oil in a large skillet, pot or
Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the onions and garlic, and saute
for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes,
bell pepper, and salt and pepper to
taste (start with 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp.
pepper). Bring to a boil, reduce heat,
cover and cook for 30 minutes more.
Taste the tomatoes for seasoning, and
add more salt and pepper to taste.
Break the eggs into the tomatoes,
and cook until the eggs are to your
liking (some people prefer to break
the yolks by stirring the egg lightly
when it's added to the tomatoes).
Serve immediately. Makes 6 servings.
CHUNKY HUMMUS
I like to serve hummus chunky with
bits of chickpeas. If you prefer yours
smooth, process it as long as you
want. Serve with pita, herbed baked
lavash and mix-ins: taboulleh, fresh
basil, sundried tomatoes, roasted red
peppers, capers, chopped olives and
extra spices: cumin, curry, etc.
Of course, in Israel there are res-
taurants that serve hummus almost
exclusively. I've made meals in the Old
City eating nothing but hum-
mus and fresh pita. Yes, you
can buy hummus anywhere,
but homemade is more deli-
cious, less expensive and
easy to prepare. Bowlfuls of
toppings turn hummus into
a party.
For protein, I like chicken
or fish. My recipe veers from
the typical shawarma but
is equally delicious, grilled
fresh and sliced up hot.
Celebrate Israel's Memorial
Day (beginning sundown May 4)
and Independence Day (beginning
sundown May 5) with these Israeli-
inspired dishes.
❑
2 15-oz. cans chickpeas, drained
juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
2-3 tsp. minced garlic, or more
to taste
1/4 tsp. black pepper
4 Tbsp. olive oil
'/2 tsp. ground cumin
Combine all ingredients except
1 cup of chickpeas in the bowl of a
food processor, and process until
smooth. Add the remaining cup of
chickpeas, and pulse until combined
but still chunky. If the mixture is too
thick, add a little warm water. Adjust
seasonings. Place on (or in) a serving
dish. Drizzle with a little olive oil, or
sprinkle with paprika. Makes 4 cups
of hummus, about 20 servings.
GARLIC AND LEMON-
GRILLED CHICKEN WITH
OLIVES

1 Tbsp. dried thyme
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. kosher salt
