Method

Grilled Mushroom Kebab

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Vegetables

    Add the button mushrooms, bell peppers (cut into bite-sized pieces), and red onion (cut into wedges) to the marinade. Toss to ensure all pieces are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Skewer the marinated vegetables alternately, ensuring an even distribution of mushrooms, peppers, and onion.

  4. 4

    Grill the Kebabs

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Basmati Rice

  1. 5

    Rinse the Rice

    In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear, about 3-4 times. This removes excess starch.

  2. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed basmati rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

  3. 7

    Fluff and Set Aside

    Remove from heat, let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and set aside.

Date Sherry Vinaigrette

  1. 8

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped dates, sherry vinegar, olive oil, honey, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  2. 9

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the vinaigrette and adjust salt as needed. If too thick, you can add a little water to reach the desired consistency.

Zhoug

  1. 10

    Blend the Herbs

    In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh cilantro, parsley, green chili, garlic, cumin seeds, olive oil, and salt. Blend until finely chopped and well mixed.

  2. 11

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the zhoug and adjust the salt or add more chili if you prefer a spicier condiment.
