I have a really wonderful Japanese Recipe for you to try. Okonomiyaki is a Japanese savory pancake. Made with a pancake-like batter, eggs and loaded with vegetables, Okonomiyaki is like a cross between a frittata and a vegetable fritter. What sets Okonomiyaki apart are the toppings, the cooked pancake is brushed with Okonomiyaki sauce and drizzled with mayonnaise; then sprinkled with green onions, togarashi and thin strips of nori.

Today's recipe is kind of a no-brainer, but I had never made Taco Egg Rolls before. I am not sure why I waited so long to make Taco Egg Rolls, but I am so glad I finally did, because, honestly these might be my new go-to appetizer for a party or a group. They're so easy! The flavor and texture is like a chalupa, with the crispy and chewy fried egg roll wrapper taking the place of masa or a fried flour tortilla. Let's make Taco Egg Rolls!

I fell in love with this dish. Creamy grits with Gruyere cheese, topped with a spicy sauté of Italian Sausage, banana peppers and grape tomatoes, finished with sliced scallions. A perfect dish for a Sunday Supper, or top it with a fried egg for a fantastic Sunday brunch! There's a lot to love about this quick and easy meal, so let's jump right in!

Today I have a pizza made from leftovers. As many of you know, this is one my favorite challenges - how to turn my leftovers into something new. It's usually a pizza because dough and cheese lends itself so perfectly to a variety of bits of pieces of whatever you have leftover or need to use up. A couple weeks ago we made Instant Pot Birria Tacos. I didn't have enough leftover to recreate the original Birria tacos so I thought it might be good on a pizza.

Happy Spring! Today I have a fun and easy sweet treat. Meringues and pavlovas are one of those desserts that always looks so impressive to me. First, they remind of spring and summer, loaded with fresh fruit; second, they are super rustic-looking, but still manage to look elegant and inviting. I suppose colorful fruit and syrups have a bit to do with this, but the beautiful white clouds of meringue set the stage. I never imagined this dessert could be so dead simple. But it is!

Today we have a great recipe that works as an appetizer; or you can serve these Simple Salt and Pepper Shrimp with rice or rice noodles and steamed vegetables. They would even make a great salad topper! Lightly fried shrimp is tossed with fresh ginger, garlic and scallions, seasoned with a savory salt and pepper blend. The combination of Sichuan peppercorns with black and white peppercorns creates an aromatic pepper blend that is fruity, bright and peppery.

Hello, it's great to see you today! I am kicking off this week with Mulligatawny Soup. Soup feels appropriate this week, as we have some very chilly days forecasted. Mulligatawny Soup originates from South Indian Cuisine; it's a curry soup that first became popular in India in the 18th century. By the 1800s, the soup was popular in England, appearing in cookbooks of the day. This is a hearty, rich and delicious soup with yams, carrots, and lentils. We also have tomato and apple, onion and fragrant, aromatic spices. I am a sucker for toppings, and I have added plenty of them for texture variety and flavor.

Welcome to Sunday Supper on Djalali Cooks. We have done a number of meatball recipes here on Djalali Cooks. It just makes me so happy to discover and invent new flavor profiles and combinations for meatballs. It's kind of like pasta in that way – there are so many possibilities! This recipe I found in Better Home and Gardens: Jerk Chicken Meatballs with Pineapple Glaze. All the aromatics of jerk seasoning flavor our chicken meatballs - including allspice. The pineapple glaze is sweet and spicy, again with allspice to give it a fantastic aromatic flavor.
