The refrigerator light goes on...

A lot of Middle Eastern style dishes are served with lentils, rice, or couscous but these make a great choice. Super simple, they take all the time of washing and cutting up the potatoes. They're also great with Spanish dishes or topped with Romesco Sauce sort of like Patatas Bravas.

Peppercorns

The black peppercorn is a spice used in virtually every cuisine in the world. The simple little berry begins on a climbing vine indigenous to Indonesia and India. White and green peppercorns are now common in markets and their color is determined by the stage of ripeness when the berries are picked.

Black peppercorns are picked just before the berry is ripe and shrivel during drying, turning dark brown or black. Drying intensifies their flavor as well as the spiciness of the berry.

Peppercorns begin to lose their flavor the minute they are ground so I feel that a peppermill is essential kitchen equipment. Because recipes call for a measured amount of pepper you have two choices. The first is to guess. The other is to take a few minutes and grind pepper onto a sheet of paper counting the number of turns on your peppermill. Then measure the amount of pepper. My peppermill, for instance, grinds about 1/8 teaspoon for 10 turns of the mill.
