🇮🇱IsraelEasy

Sauces and Dips

Hummus

Creamy homemade hummus from chickpeas, tahini, lemon, and garlic — blended until impossibly smooth. Ten minutes from can to bowl, and it beats every store-bought tub I have ever tried.

Tzatziki

Cool, garlicky Greek yogurt dip with grated cucumber, fresh dill, and a squeeze of lemon. The secret is squeezing every drop of water from the cucumber — skip that step and you get soup, not tzatziki.

Sauces and Dips

Chimichurri

Bright, herby Argentine chimichurri sauce — flat-leaf parsley, garlic, oregano, red wine vinegar, and olive oil, chopped by hand and rested until the flavors bloom. The best thing you can put on grilled meat.

Sauces and Dips

Tahini Sauce

Simple tahini sauce — sesame paste thinned with water, brightened with lemon and garlic. Five minutes, no cooking. The trick is adding water gradually until it goes from thick paste to pourable silk.

Sauces and Dips

Teriyaki Sauce

A glossy, deeply savory-sweet glaze built from soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar, thickened with a cornstarch slurry until it coats a spoon. Homemade teriyaki takes ten minutes and tastes nothing like the bottled kind — the fresh garlic and ginger give it a brightness that disappears completely in shelf-stable versions. I keep a jar in the fridge and use it on everything from grilled chicken to roasted vegetables.

Sauces and Dips

Baba Ganoush

Smoky roasted eggplant mashed with tahini, lemon juice, and raw garlic into a rough, creamy dip that's simultaneously rich and light. The entire point of baba ganoush is the char — the eggplant needs direct contact with flame or the highest heat your oven can deliver, so the skin blackens completely and the flesh underneath turns silky and smoky. I char mine directly on the gas stovetop, which takes about fifteen minutes of turning and gets the best possible flavor.

Sauces and Dips

Romesco Sauce

A thick, brick-red Catalan sauce of roasted red peppers, toasted almonds, garlic, tomato, stale bread, and sherry vinegar, pounded together into a rustic paste with smoked paprika and good olive oil. Romesco is one of those sauces that makes everything it touches better — grilled vegetables, fish, roasted chicken, even a fried egg. It originates from the fishermen of Tarragona who needed a bold sauce for their catch, and it has not changed much since.

Nuoc Cham

Nuoc cham is the essential Vietnamese dipping sauce — a bright, balanced mix of fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, garlic, and chili that ties together spring rolls, grilled meats, rice bowls, and noodle salads with sweet, sour, salty, and spicy notes in every drop.

Classic French Vinaigrette

A classic French vinaigrette made with olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and a hint of garlic. The 3-to-1 oil-to-acid ratio and a spoonful of mustard create a silky emulsified dressing that clings to every leaf and never separates in the bowl.

Fish and Seafood Dishes

Keralan Fish Curry

Authentic South Indian fish curry from Kerala — tender white fish fillets simmered in a coconut milk sauce with curry leaves, mustard seeds, and tamarind. This isn't your typical creamy curry — it's lighter, tangier, and deeply aromatic from the tempered spices and fresh curry leaves. The tamarind gives it that signature sour note that balances the richness of coconut milk. The golden rule: never stir the fish, just shake the pan gently to keep the fillets intact.

Crispy Cabbage Caesar Salad

Roasted cabbage Caesar salad with caramelized wedges, homemade anchovy dressing, crunchy croutons, and shaved parmesan. The cabbage goes into a screaming-hot oven until the edges char and the natural sugars turn to toffee — then gets the full Caesar treatment. A whole head of cabbage feeds four people for almost nothing, and it tastes better than romaine ever did.
