Yemenite Spice (Zhug) – A Vegetarian Spicy Sauce you’ll love

The Yemenite zhug is a type of spread or sauce used to simply spice things up J In Israel, it is mostly used as an addition to Falafel and I personally just love it on a piece of bread with good cheese or Hummus spread on it.

Rainbow Trout in Red Sauce – A Mediterranean Delight

I like fish as much as I like a good steak. They are easy to make and absorb flavors well. I usually make Salmon because its texture is closer to chicken and I like that, but this time I decided to make a different fish for our Friday dinner.

Salads
