Hi all - what are some of your go-to foods? I’ve been doing a lot of the microwaveable processed stuff for convenience’s sake, but I’d like to do a bit more cooking if possible. I don’t meal prep at present but am interested to hear what y’all find easy and tasty and actually make regularly.

Thanks!

    I, too, wondered what the spices should be and found two potential answers.

    This recipe is very like yours but instead of zaatar, the author lists “seven spices” plus extra cumin.

    This cook insists Mujadara, should be plain/unspiced, but recognizes variations may use ‘seven spices’, and has a 7-spices recipe if you don’t have a store that sells it pre-made. Note that I have not tried any recipe on this site, but it IS Vegan. I am a bit suspicious because its hummus recipes use CANNED chickpeas. That seems extremely wrong and inauthentic. On one of the the text-walls they do say that boiling dried beans is better, but then don’t list that as a recipe version. It makes me wonder what else they are leaving out and not explaining.

      Thanks for the tip about (Lebanese) seven spices! Those spices sound like the flavour I’m trying to emulate. I’ll have to get/make some. I loved your analysis about the trustworthiness 🧐 of that site :P
