    Berbere {Ethiopian Spice Mix}

    November 12, 2013 / 2 Comments

    One of our favorite dishes enjoyed at Desta Ethiopian Kitchen was Miser.  Red lentils stewed in a rich spicy berbere sauce with onion, garlic, and ginger.  I set out to recreate this warm and flavorful dish from the ground up. Here is my version of the Berbere spice blend (pronounced burr-burr-ee and meaning “hot”).  I slightly adapted this recipe from Epicurious according to the spices I had on hand and reduced it by half.

    Parmesan Crusted Homemade Fish Sticks

    August 16, 2013 / 1 Comment

    Parmesan Crusted Homemade Fish Sticks I grew up in a very small New England town in southern New Hampshire.  There was a large Catholic population which meant every Friday night was fish night in most households.  And while some of my friends grumbled, I begged to be invited for dinner in hopes they’d be serving fish sticks and French fries.  Loved them.  Please tell me I’m not alone on this one.

    I separated this Tandoori Spice Blend from the Whole Roasted Tandoori Cauliflower post because it’s so versatile it’s worth a post of it’s own.  I can see myself using this in various dishes and thankfully the recipe made enough to for us and to share with Shelby.

    Kefta Mkaouara {Moroccan Spicy Meatball & Tomato Tagine with Poached Eggs}

    March 19, 2013 / 18 Comments

    I wanted to share one more Winter Thyme Spice Exploration dish before I mentally checked into Spring.  When I discovered Kefta Mkaouara, a traditional Moroccan tagine dish, it offered all the right components.  Lovely spices, fresh herbs, wonderfully seasoned mini-meatballs, and poached eggs all slow cooked in glorious tomato and olive sauce in our new Tagine.  Beautiful.

    Beef Tagine with Butternut Squash {B is for Braising}

    January 25, 2013 / 1 Comment

    Santa Claus is quite perceptive.  I mean he brought me a Terracotta Tagine for Christmas and it wasn’t even on my list.  How did he know?!!  Working perfectly into our Winter Thyme Spice Exploration plan, we put that baby to good use tonight.  We turned a basic beef stew into a fragrant adventure with this Beef Tagine with Butternut Squash.  Paprika, cinnamon, ginger, and cayenne came together with tangy tomatoes and sweet butternut squash to create a BIG flavor sauce.  The beef was tender, as slow braised beef should be, and completely infused with Moroccan love.  I’m smiling.

    Peruvian Chicken.  When my co-worker Cindy told me she had a recipe that was right up my alley…I listened.  She knows me.  Peruvian Chicken she promised was packed full of incredible make-you-get-a-little-giddy flavor…and wouldn’t you know this recipe is just in time for Winter Thyme Spice Exploration.  She really knows me.

About Libby

Hi, I'm Libby and welcome to Lemony Thyme. I hope you'll enjoy this collection of recipes, eating experiences, and food photography. My cooking abilities rose to a new level when I started incorporating fresh herbs. I began to understand the term ‘layers of flavor’ and found myself deconstructing dishes with my tongue to identify each ingredient.
