Garlic-Parsley Butter
This butter is delicious on so many things, but a go-to for garlic bread. Spread on bread and toast in the oven or grill the bread and spread the butter on afterward.
Sesame-Tahini Pickled Carrots
These pickled carrots are a great addition to a pita stuffed with hummus or as part of a larger mezze platter. Think hummus, falafel, zhoug, raw vegetables, and naan seasoned with za’atar or simply with salt and pepper.
Zhoug
Zhoug is a vibrant blend of herbs and spices used as a dip, mixed into grains and pastas, dolloped onto vegetables, as a spread in wraps and sandwiches, or eaten traditionally as a side to falafel with hummus.

Romesco Sauce
Romesco is a classic Spanish sauce originating in Catalonia. It’s particularly scrumptious when paired with grilled items.

This tangy chutney cooks pineapple, onion, and garlic with sweet and sour elements and is left chunky for serving.
