Duck Breast & Zucchini Tournedos

This fragrant salad uses bulgur wheat as its base, an endlessly versatile, slightly chewy grain that’s very popular throughout the eastern Mediterranean.

Rather than breaded and fried as you might expect croquettes to be, these are something more akin to a seared chicken salad patty.

A pinch of sugar in the spice rub ensures picture-perfect grill marks with layers of flavor.

Give your favorite breakfast sausage a makeover with ground chicken. A blend of spices (fennel, smoked paprika) and some maple syrup makes these patties shine.

In this lasagna, soft layers of pasta and béchamel are interspersed with a rich tomato sauce laden with hearty Mediterranean vegetables.

An espresso-and-cumin-spiked rub (or brine) gives this smoked chicken impressive flavor.

This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!
