Cucumber and Tomato Salad

Submitted by: Tigrgrrl
A refreshing, light salad for any hot, humid summer day! A great main dish for vegetarians, as well. The basil may be substituted with fresh parsley or mint. Be sure to make this salad just before serving. 

Favorite Lentil Soup

Submitted by: Alma Lou
Red lentils are colorful and creamy in this Middle Eastern-inspired soup. A fragrant mix of olive oil, onion soup mix, ground cumin, and pepper provide zip! The lentils are cooked in a pressure cooker, then combined with herbs and spices and processed until smooth. Just before serving, a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkling of parsley are added. 

Fereni Starch Pudding

Subtly spicy cardamom, ground almonds and rosewater flavor this creamy milk and cornstarch pudding. For best results be sure to use whole cardamom pods instead of the ground variety. Whole pods and rosewater can be found at specialty grocers.

Marinated Olives

Submitted by: Sir Pellinore
Already-pungent olives--Kalamata and Manzanilla--get punched up with additional herbs and spices; two days in the refrigerator brings out the most flavor.

Rose Petal Pound Cake

Submitted by: Carol
This cake is very different to the usual recipes and calls for rosewater which you can obtain in Middle Eastern grocery stores. You could also substitute orange water for the rosewater. Rosewater and orange water are used in Middle Eastern pastries. Both are very sweet and they are clear liquids found in bottles.
