Ingredients

1 cup freekeh
2 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon tahini
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup pomegranate seeds
¼ cup red onion, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh mint
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
½ cup crushed pistachios

Steps:

Stir freekeh in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Cover pan and cook until water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Transfer freekeh to a bowl to cool.
Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, tahini, and honey together in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle in olive oil and whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
Add pomegranate seeds, onion, mint, and parsley to the bowl with the cooked freekeh. Drizzle in the dressing and toss to coat. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Top with pistachios right before serving so they don't soften.

TASTEFUL TAHINI SALAD DRESSING

Tasteful Tahini Salad Dressing image

I hate mayo, but I love hummus and tahini. People are always asking for the recipe. The tahini gives it a Middle Eastern feel and the lemon, garlic, and ginger flavors really give it a kick! Easy to make, just needs a blender or a food processor. Experiment by adding a bit more lemon or a bit less garlic, or adding ground mint. Works well on anything, especially on simple salads.

LITHUANIAN HERRING SALAD WITH ONION AND TOMATO (SILKE SU POMIDOR

Lithuanian Herring Salad With Onion and Tomato (Silke Su Pomidor image

I remember Mother sitting around the kitchen table with her friends, skinning and gutting herring, to make this appetizer salad for New Years and other big community events. I am now able to buy herring fillets, which simplifies the prep quite a bit. Servings is a wild guess - I eat this with abandon, so be advised. Prep time does not include soaking or refrigeration.

Time 45m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 lb salt herring fillet
1 lb yellow onion
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 bay leaves
16 ounces tomato sauce

Steps:

You want to use salt brined herring fillets - I found mine at a Polish deli, sitting all ready to use in a big barrel.
Place the herrings in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Refrigerate for about 24 hours, changing the water two to four times.
Drain off the water and slice the fillets into 1/4 to 1/2 inch sized pieces.
Thinly slice the onions.
Heat oil in a large skillet; add the onions and cook until tender, but not browned. I often add 1/2 cup or so of water to help soften the onion without letting it brown.
Stir in the tomato sauce and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes or so, stirring and scraping down the sides of the pan several times. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
Take a 1 quart glass or ceramic bowl. Remove bay leaves from the sauce. Layer the herring and sauce in it, starting and ending with the sauce.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to permit the flavors to meld.
Serve with a good, sturdy rye bread. If you are in the Chicago area, try Racine Bakery's Lithuanian Rye. Some folks like to eat this with hot, boiled potatoes.
