Homemade Hummus with Tomatoes and Cucumbers Salad Topping

The reason I love this recipe is because the salad topping for this hummus makes a perfect refreshing, tangy and crunchy addition to this rich tasting hummus.

You can make hummus from tinned chickpeas or boil it yourself, both options are good, just depends on how much time you have. The below recipe is with tinned chickpeas.

Sri Lankan Chicken Curry

I love Sri Lankan food and love making it for my husband who was born there and has the most beautiful memories of the country and the food.

I saw this recipe on Karan Gokani profile and had to try it. I made couple adjustments, like adding chili pepper as my husband likes spicier food and instead of curry, pandan and lemongrass leaves I used Lime leaves.

Lentils with Chicken and Mushrooms

On a rainy day in Madrid, the atmosphere perfectly sets the stage for cozy cravings—especially for hearty stews and soups. With autumn in full swing, it’s also the prime time for mushrooms. Feel free to swap out Shiitake mushrooms for other varieties; Porcini or Chanterelle would elevate this dish even more.

Asparagus Soup with Mushrooms

This hearty and easy-to-make asparagus soup has two surprises - it appears to be a blended soup, but you'll bite into delicious mushrooms, and the chili peppers add a heat that works very well with the velvety taste of asparagus.

Cabbage, Parsley and Lemony Onions salad

I love this easy, crunchy, and vibrant salad. The best part is that it's so simple to make! Chopping everything is the hardest part, while the real star of the dish is the lemony onions. Read below to learn how to make it. I enjoy it by itself as a starter before the main course, or it goes very well with lamb or any other meats.

Healing Chicken Broth Soup with Chicken

I have a special association with chicken broth soup; it’s my go-to remedy whenever I’m feeling under the weather. Growing up, my dad would make it for my brother, my mom, or me whenever one of us was sick. Now, it’s the first thing I prepare for my husband or myself when we start to feel unwell.

This soothing, warming, and healthy dish wraps around you like a cozy blanket. In addition to the vegetables, I always add plenty of ginger and garlic to help kick out whatever is making my loved ones feel less than 100%.

Cod with Beans,Olives and Gochujang

This is a bold and flavor bomb type of recipe! I developed it in my small New York kitchen and made it so many times after when I am feeling like I want something with stronger flavors in my life!

I like it for saltiness of both - olives and goat cheese (and smokiness it has), spiciness of Gochujang, warm bed of black beans and of course the butteriness of Cod!

Miso beans with pickled purple cabbage

I keep on coming back to beans recipes and keep on developing different variations of it with it because I think you can be so creative...Beans are really like a white canvas that you can dress up however you want to. They are also a great resource of protein, folate, antioxidants and many other health benefits. In this recipe the beans are dressed (cooked) with Miso paste which is wonderful for your gut health and I added some chili peppers for some heat and the surprise (maybe not much of a surprise given it sit’s right at the top..) is the pickled purple cabbage which gives nice crunchy tanginess.

Kimchi & Pork Ribs Soup

Kimchi & Pork Ribs Soup

This kimchi rib soup is incredibly warming with a delightful kick of spice. Kimchi itself offers a good level of heat, and the addition of gochujang adds an extra layer of intensity. The richness of the pork ribs complements the refreshing tang of the kimchi beautifully. If you can find them, enoki mushrooms make a wonderful addition – simply add them 10 minutes before the soup is finished cooking. If your kimchi is in large pieces, you can chop it into smaller, bite-sized portions, though I personally prefer larger pieces in this soup. And don't forget to pour in the flavorful juice from the kimchi jar!

Beets are really a veggie that divides people to Love or Hate camps. Most Lithuanians tend to fall under Love as we have quite a few dishes with them. This easy, refreshing and easy to make salad is perfect with any meat on a side. Especially with duck!
I think the secret gun here are chopped marinated hot peppers.
