| Sesame cookies using the Nigella (black sesame) I brought back from Israel. |
Yesterday we decided to have foods with Israeli flavors for dinner. I made several dishes that reminded us of our trips there: dates stuffed with ground meat (
blogged here), chopped tomato salad, eggplant in tomato sauce, and stuffed grape leaves made by Trader Joe. The preparations included several spices often used in Israeli food: the spice mix baharat and the fresh herbs cilantro, parsley, and mint. Len made pita bread. For dessert, I baked some sesame-flavored cookies, which were very crumbly and nice. I used a combination of white and black sesame seeds.

The cookies had a flavor that reminded me of Israeli sweets.

Sounds like you had a very flavorful meal. It is nice when we can serve a meal that takes us back to our travels.
Those look tasty, Mae!
