Africa & Middle East recipe collection

A fantastic healthy dip perfect for the holidays or anytime you might have company coming. Butternut squash is roasted with an Arabic Ras El Hanout spice mixture. Based on a recipe by Gordon Ramsay.

This version of the garlicky roasted eggplant dip does not have tahini in it as with a traditional version. While I really like an "authentic" baba ghanoush, I also enjoy the commercial Sabra brand, which uses mayo and some spices. It is slightly sweet and has a little kick. This is my rendition.

A delicious South African dish made with rice, potatoes, green peas and hot chili peppers.

Hummus is packed with goodness, tastes delicious, and it's so easy to make. Forget about the store-bought ones that usually contain more than just a few ingredients, make it yourself, and you will be amazed by the result.

This is a very bold mix of good tastes. I was happy to cook this meal for my friends. Everyone said they never thought of that before. Four stars.
