A long time ago I had a recipe from a Basque cookbook for really tasty eggs poached in a simple stew of tomatoes, peppers, and onions. I’ve since lost that recipe, but this is pretty close to the flavors (though I won’t claim it as authentic Basque cooking!) This is really quick to prepare, especially if you dice your veggies as you’re cooking instead of doing th prep work all up front (for example, while the sausage sautes, dice the onion, after the onion goes in, mince the garlic, once the garlic is in, dice the peppers, etc.) This can be made vegetarian/vegan by substituting 1 tsp. oil for the sausage.
Machboos is a dish of rice & meat, popular in many Gulf countries & across Saudi Arabia. Here is a version which is traditionally made in Bahrain. If you don’t have any Buharat / Baharat spice mix, there are a few here on Zaar to choose from. If you don’t want to use a whole chicken, your favourite pieces would be fine too!
These are savory pancakes filled with grinded vegetables. Be sure to use fresh vegetables. I have used carrots and turnips and a spice combination of basil and curry. But please do not be shy to try yur favorite vegetables with this, i think anything really would work. This is perfect if yu have some things in your fridge you need to use up, it is really easy to make and great comfort food.

As a child my favorite recipes in Austria were apricot dumplings. Now I make a few other types. At this time of year strawberries are great, especially during the cool evenings that can crop up. Often served as a meal on their own in Europe. This recipe is the one i use for more formal fussy dumplings and I still use the old fashioned ending which I will tack on as an option. Prep time does not include the 1/2 hour of dough resting.
