- The Best of Summer 2024
As summer quickly swims away, Zikki and I are finding ourselves nostalgic for dishes we made all summer long. For us, summer is characterized by lots of bold herb usage, fresh & raw seafood dishes, fabulous pita sandwiches, and juicy succulent ripe fruit!
Today, we want to focus on our favorite recipes this summer as the weather is already turning and pumpkin spice season is creeping in. (Come on fam, we still have two weeks!)
So whether you are planning a great Labor Day Weekend Party or just having some friends over to enjoy these last final weeks in the sun, here is our Ultimate Summer Menu. Let’s make the close of this season a delicious one!
What are we drinking? Stone Fruit Gazoz & Limonana Slushies
What are we eating? Shrimp Cigars & Ceviche Pita
What is for dessert? Fruit Split (like banana, but better)
What are we drinking?
Stone Fruit Gazoz is something that makes everyone happy. It is an non-alcoholic beverage loaded with juicy overnight sugar soaked fruit, stuffed with summer herbs, and topped with sparkling water. This drink is joyous and satisfying!
Take it one step further and make our Limonana for your slushy drinkers! This lemon and mint slushy is SO refreshing after a long summer day.
What are we eating?
Crunchy, tangy, fried and seasoned with a kick of lime - these Shrimp Cigars are easy to make for crowd and perfect after a long day at the pool!
This bite is magnificent. There is a moment when the mackerel, avocado, and mango come together alongside the chilis, sumac, and labneh - to create something truly divine!
What is for dessert?
What better way to close the day than with brûlée-d fruit & ice cream!
