INGREDIENTS:
PREPARATION
1. Put everything except the parsley in a food processor and begin to process; add the chickpea
liquid or water as needed to allow the machine to produce a smooth puree.
2. Taste and adjust the seasoning (I often find I like to add much more lemon juice). Serve, drizzled
with the olive oil and sprinkled with a bit more cumin or paprika and some parsley.

INGREDIENTS:
4 to 6 crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
small yellow onion, finely chopped

2 teaspoons lemon
Chopped fresh basil leave
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper
1 pound spaghetti (or linguine or fettuccine pasta)

PREPARATION
1. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and sauté until
softened and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes and then add the garlic. Carefully pour in the crushed
tomatoes. Add the salt and pepper and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered,
stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in the cream. Taste and season
with additional salt and pepper as needed.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add spaghetti; cook until al dente according to package
instructions, about 7 to 8 minutes.
3. Drain pasta and immediately toss with the tomato mixture. Add the basil, toss once more
4. Serve immediately, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.
INGREDIENTS:
PREPARATION
1. Soak the rice, cinnamon sticks, lemon zest and whole cloves in the water in a heavy
saucepan for 1 hr.
2. After soaking, bring the rice mixture to a boil on high heat, uncovered. When it starts to boil
(about 5 mins), lower the heat to medium and cook for 10 to 12 mins or until water is almost
evaporated.
3. While rice is cooking, beat the egg in a bowl. Add milk about ½ cup at a time, stirring each
time until all is absorbed. Add the egg mixture, vanilla essence and condensed milk to the
rice and cook over medium-low heat. Continue adding up to the whole milk and stirring
carefully, until it thickens slightly or until desired consistency, about 25 to 35 mins.
4. Let cook uncovered.
