RICE PILAF WITH PISTACHIOS AND ALMONDS
This dish is inspired by a number of Persian rice pilafs, but it's simpler, and calls for much less butter than an authentic Persian pilaf. There are sweet and tart flavors at play here, especially if you use barberries, but apricots also have a tart edge to them. Rose water makes the pilaf wonderfully fragrant.

Steps:
- Place rice in a bowl in the sink and rinse several times with water, or soak for 30 minutes to an hour. Drain.
- Heat water or stock to a bare simmer in a saucepan or in microwave.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil, butter or ghee in a wide, heavy skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add onion and salt to taste. Cook, stirring, until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes, and add rice. Cook, stirring, until the grains of rice are separate, dry and beginning to crackle. Add hot water or stock, rose water and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes, until all of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Uncover rice and place a clean towel over the top of the pan (it should not be touching the rice). Replace lid and allow to sit for 10 minutes, undisturbed.
- Meanwhile, heat remaining tablespoon of oil, butter or ghee over medium heat in a medium frying pan or saucepan and add the nuts. Cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, and add spices and barberries or dried apricots. Continue to cook for another minute, until the spices smell fragrant, and remove from the heat. Immediately scrape over the rice.
- Pile the pilaf onto a platter or into a wide bowl and toss to incorporate the nut and spice mixture. Serve.

MAUREEN ABOOD'S EGGPLANT WITH LAMB, TOMATO AND PINE NUTS
With its layers of golden eggplant, cinnamon-scented lamb, and sweet tomato sauce topped with melted cheese, this traditional Lebanese dish is made for celebratory meals and gatherings. Even better, it's just as good served warm or room temperature as it is hot from the oven. It also reheats well, meaning that you can bake it the day before, and reheat it before serving if you like. Pull it out of the refrigerator, let it come to room temperature for an hour, then reheat it covered for about 40 minutes at 350 degrees.

Steps:
- Heat broiler and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.
- Brush both sides of eggplant slices with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Arrange slices on prepared baking sheet and broil in batches until they are deep mahogany brown, turning once halfway through, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
- Adjust the oven to 375 degrees with rack positioned in the center.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, but not browned, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add ground lamb or beef, stirring frequently and breaking up meat into very small pieces with the side of a metal spoon. Season with remaining teaspoon salt, cinnamon and pepper. Sauté until meat is just cooked through. Taste and add more salt or pepper, or both, as needed.
- In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add pine nuts and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir nuts to coat them with butter and continue stirring constantly until nuts are golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Keep a close watch over the nuts; they can burn quickly once they begin to brown. Transfer nuts to a bowl while still warm and salt them lightly.
- Coat a 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking dish with remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread 1/2 cup of tomato sauce in the bottom of the dish. Lay 1/3 of the eggplant slices in a single layer over the sauce, covering as much surface area of the bottom of the dish as possible. Spoon half the meat evenly over eggplant. Pour 1/3 of the remaining tomato sauce evenly over meat. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the pine nuts. Layer again with eggplant, meat, tomato sauce and pine nuts. Finish with a layer of eggplant and cover with more tomato sauce, sprinkling top with pine nuts.
- Pour 1 cup warm water around the perimeter of the baking dish. (Sauce will thicken as it bakes.) Cover pan with foil and bake for 90 minutes. Remove foil and top eggplant evenly with mozzarella. Bake for 15 minutes longer, uncovered, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden. Serve eggplant warm, over rice.

WHOLE GRILLED EGGPLANT WITH RICE PILAF
Eggplants have a dark side-and it's excellent. Roast them whole until the skin is charred, and the flesh goes soft and creamy. To serve, split the eggplants and top with pomegranate molasses and lemony tahini sauce, then spoon the insides onto herby, pistachio-scented pilaf and dust lightly with fragrant za'atar.

Steps:
- For Eggplant and Rice Pilaf: Prepare grill for direct- and indirect-heat cooking. Rub eggplants with oil to lightly coat. Grill over direct heat, turning a few times, until charred all over, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to indirect heat and continue cooking, maintaining a temperature of 400°F, until collapsed and very soft, 18 to 22 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add pasta and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add rice and onion; cook, stirring frequently, until they start to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes more. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and broth. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes. Let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Uncover; fluff with a fork.
- For Tahini Sauce: While rice is cooking, sprinkle garlic with a pinch of salt; mash into a paste with the side of a knife. Transfer to a bowl; add tahini, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup water. Whisk until smooth; season with salt. Stir in more water if needed, a little at a time, until mixture is thin enough to drizzle. (Sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days; bring to room temperature before serving.)
- Stir together pomegranate molasses and cinnamon. Slash open eggplants; drizzle with molasses mixture and a few tablespoons tahini sauce. Top pilaf with pistachios, parsley, and za'atar. Scoop flesh from eggplants, spoon over pilaf, and serve with more tahini sauce.

- Set a liquid measuring cup with about 1/2 cup of water next to the stove. In a 12-inch skillet (preferably not nonstick), melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are meltingly tender and a rich, deep caramel color, 20 to 25 minutes. To help the caramelization process along and prevent the onions from burning, deglaze the pan every so often with a few tablespoons of the water—but wait to do this until you see a brown film forming on the bottom of the pan. I usually use about 1/2 cup of water total, but you may need a bit more or less. Add the cumin and cinnamon and stir well. Reduce the heat to low and cook one minute more, stirring occasionally, to allow the onion to absorb the flavors of the spices and caramelize a bit more. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Set aside.
- Pour the orange juice over the cherries in a small bowl to hydrate them, if necessary adding enough water to cover completely. Set aside.
- In a heavy 3-qt. saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, reduce the heat to low, and stir well to coat each grain with butter. Toast for a full 5 minutes, stirring regularly to keep the grains separated and to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Add 2-1/2 cups water, stir once, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 18 minutes. Remove from the heat, and let the pilaf sit, still covered, for 5 minutes.

- Once the rice is done, heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and optional chili peppers sauté over medium heat until golden.
- Stir in the rice and all the remaining ingredients except the nuts, salt, and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for about 8 to 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.

- Place bulgur in a large deep bowl, add enough warm water to cover by 2 inches, cover and let stand for 1 hour. Drain; set aside.
- Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add eggplant. Do not stir for the first minute; then cook, stirring, until beginning to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Push the eggplant to the sides, making a well in the middle for the other ingredients.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the middle of the pan. Add onion, scallions, bell pepper, carrot and garlic. Do not stir for 2 minutes; then mix all the ingredients, including the eggplant, and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Make a well in the ingredients again and add tomato paste to the middle. Do not stir for 30 seconds; then turn the tomato paste over and cook for another 15 seconds. Add the drained bulgur, oregano, salt and pepper; stir well to combine. Heat through. If the eggplant is not completely tender, stir in broth, cover the pan and simmer until the eggplant reaches your desired tenderness. Remove from the heat; stir in parsley (or cilantro).

- Heat olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the shallots and garlic. Stir and cook for 2 minutes. Add the salt, cumin, coriander, and cinnamon. Continue to stir for 1 minute as the spices are toasted. Add the bulgur, pistachios, and raisins. Continue stirring for another 1 minute to mix everything well. Add the vegetable broth and stir well. When the liquid reaches a boil, reduce heat to low and cover the saucepan. After 10-15 minutes, when the liquid has been absorbed, remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
- Option 1 - Oven: Preheat oven to 425F. Carefully coat each piece of eggplant in olive oil, taking care not to leave any piece in the oil too long (eggplant can absorb a lot of oil quickly). Place the eggplant pieces on a lined baking sheet. Season the eggplant with salt. Toss the red bell peppers and zucchini slices in the remainder of the oil and season with salt. Spread evenly on another lined baking sheet (or the same one as the eggplant, if it is large enough). Place both baking sheets in the oven, once preheated. The eggplant should take about 30 minutes and the zucchini and pepper should take about 20. The eggplant should be browned and tender, the zucchini cooked through, and the pepper lightly blistered. Check on them after 10 minutes, and then again at 15, 20, and 25 minutes and flip as needed. After removing the baking trays, season all the vegetables with black pepper. Sprinkle the smoked paprika over the eggplant and stir well to coat.
- Place the kale in a large microwave-safe bowl and cover the bowl with a large plate. Microwave on high for 45 seconds. Check on the kale and taste a piece. If it is a vibrant green color and cooked through, it is ready. If it is still tough, cover the bowl and heat in the microwave for another 15 seconds. Repeat this until the kale is just barely cooked. Be careful not to overcook the kale. Cooking time will vary depending on the power of your microwave. Season kale with the apple cider vinegar and salt to taste.
