#211 Lamb Shawarma over hommus (by JoeFoodie)
Shawarma, when made properly, is one of my favorite dishes - bar none. This is some great lamb shawarma - full flavored, spiced very well. The hummus is creamy with a enough garlic and lemon to give it some punch.

#210 Pork Adobo (by JoeFoodie)
Filipino style adobo. Adobo is a traditional Spanish dish, so adobo made its way to the Philippines in the 1500s under Spanish administration.
Luscious, spicy, slightly sweet, and comforting. Every bite melts in your mouth. Layers of flavor lead into lip smackingly tender meat and luxurious fat.

I didn’t really plan on how to cook the eggplant which was stored in the fridge for the last few days. Then suddenly an idea came across my mind to cook it in this way….by steaming it. Yup, that’s right. Steaming it retains it’s original texture and color, and with a touch of homemade sauce, you’ll have a healthy veg dish to go along with rice. Can you see the nice original purple color of the eggplant? I just love it!

#209 Garlic Knots (by TwoHungryDudes)
I tried my first garlic knot in NYC about 5 years ago. Haven’t had much luck finding any in the Detroit area until tonight. New York City Pizza (fitting name, no?) sells these little knots of deliciousness.
Dripping with garlic, butter, and herbs and dusted with parmesan cheese, these are the perfect partner to slice of NY style pizza.

A simple dish elevated by seasonal produce.
Organic whole wheat spaghetti, roma tomatoes from the garden, basil & oregano from the herb garden, garlic, olive oil, sea salt, and fresh cracked pepper.
