Stuffed Artichokes with Ground Beef - Tunisian Style with Pea Sauce
Stuffed artichokes are a quick family dish that doesn’t always come to mind; I like to serve them with a yellow turmeric sauce with peas.

Nothing like a tangy broth to whet the appetite! That’s why I want you to discover an Iraqi dish with delicate, fragrant flavors: kubbeh. They simmer in a lemony broth unlike anything you’ve tasted before.

Bsal ou loubia (also spelled psal ou loubia), which means “onions and beans,” is a traditional slow-cooked dish from Tunisian cuisine. Delicious and essential, it is made with beef, onions and white beans in a rich, reduced sauce. Here is my family recipe for Bsal ou Loubia.

A slow-cooked dish that gives you meltingly tender meat, so soft you can cut it with a fork, in a really beautiful sauce. It’s a dish you’ll often find in Israel at “home cooking” restaurants. Here is my version, very easy and approved by the whole family.



A great classic of French cooking, beef bourguignon is exactly the kind of easy braise we all love: melt-in-your-mouth meat in a rich, velvety sauce. This kosher meat version is even better eaten the next day.

Tournedos Rossini, a lovely name for this French specialty: a thick cut of beef tenderloin topped with a slice of seared foie gras and sometimes even shaved truffle, served on a pan-fried slice of bread with a Madeira sauce. A true celebration dish, here in a kosher (meat) version.

A great American classic, pulled beef is full of flavor and easy to make. Just put your seasoned beef (I went with a homemade barbecue sauce) in the oven and let it cook quietly on its own. All that’s left to do is shred it once it’s done. It’s hard to do better.

This braised beef brisket is a flavorful dish that I’m sharing with you here with a fig and red wine sauce. The meat is meltingly tender, and it’s perfect for a festive meal, especially for Rosh Hashanah or Sukkot.
