Inspired by the Lebanese meat pies called sfeeha, these savory pies are everything I dream of when it comes to the perfect bite. ⁠ ⁠ Ground lamb (or beef, whatever you prefer) is seasoned with paprika, cumin and cinnamon and pressed into a soft dough before being baked. Then the meat pies are topped with toasted pine nuts, fresh herbs, sumac and a good squeeze of lemon juice. ⁠ ⁠ What mezze would you serve these with?⁠ ⁠ Lebanese Meat Pie Recipe: Link in Bio!

We are grilling all the things this summer...including grapes!⁠ ⁠ Just like tomatoes, grapes just barely burst from the hot heat and get charred, sweet and smokey. Then top with creamy ricotta, fruity olive oil and herby tarragon. ⁠ ⁠ Recipe curtesy of my friend @familyspice cookbook entitled, Camp and Cabin Cookbook. ⁠ ⁠
