Middle Eastern Avocado Puree

Avocado Crema takes just 5 minutes to make and makes everything better! It is lusciously creamy, tangy, salty and OBSESSIVE worthy delicious! It is made with avocado, sour cream or Greek yogurt, mayo, lime juice, salt, cumin and garlic powder. These handful of ingredients transform into the silky flavorful Avocado Crema that is amazing with any of your favorite Mexican foods or with chips, veggies, pitas, or as a spread on wraps, sandwiches, burgers, etc.

This dish tastes just like the classic alfredo dish you love, but with the addition of creamy avocado instead of added butter or oil. Just blend ripe avocados with heavy cream, garlic, and plenty of grated pecorino cheese then toss with al dente fettuccine. The result is a rich, bright, uniquely green alfredo ready in just about 25 minutes and sure to delight pasta lovers and avocado lovers alike.

This vibrant and flavorful olive oil dip is perfect for serving with fresh bread, crackers, or vegetables. The blend of herbs and garlic creates a delightful accompaniment to any meal or snack!

It may seem silly to give a recipe for avocado toast, but there is an art to it, as with most things that are both simple and perfect. Here, you want to make sure of a few things: that the bread you use is sturdy and has some taste; that there's enough salt and citrus to bring out the avocado's flavor; and that you use a good olive oil to bring it all together. These garnishes, from the Australian café Two Hands in Manhattan, are tasty but unnecessary.

The bright, fresh flavors of the Mediterranean come alive in these easy vegetarian pitas. Give yourself enough time to make the roasted vegetables called for in the recipe--or make them a day or two in advance for a healthy meal that takes less than 30 minutes to prepare. These pitas would also work well with whatever leftover cooked veggies you have on hand. No need to warm the roasted veggies up; this recipe tastes great chilled or at room temperature.

A healthy, delicious, well-rounded meal, that's quick and easy to make and full of middle eastern flavor! 

Slow-cooked chickpeas and creamy tahini make this garlicky hummus extra smooth.Ridiculously nutritious and vice-grip versatile, chickpeas are the most widely consumed legume in the world. Packed with protein, plus zinc and iron, chickpeas provide a very good plant-based replacement for meat, especially in that ubiquitous Near and Middle Eastern dip called hummus. I recommend topping with olive oil and sumac, a Mediterranean spice (not the same plant as American poison sumac) that tastes kind of like a cross between lemon juice and paprika.
