The tempeh and kibbeh are both new-to-me recipes from Appetite for Reduction and both were great. The tempeh is supposed to have kalamata olives pureed with the red wine, garlic & herb marinade, but I cannot get over my hatred of olives. I've tried so many times and it's just not happening. I added some capers instead to help give that briny taste, and it seemed to work okay.
The kibbeh is a mixture of cooked eggplant, tomatoes, onion, and garlic, mixed with bulgur and baked in a casserole dish. We really liked it.
I made a simple salad of tomato, cucumber, parsley, lemon juice, and olive oil on the side. It was a nice mediterranean-ish dinner.
