Masabacha with Beef or Mushroom

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter or oil
  • ½ yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cumin/coriander
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 lb ground beef OR 1 lb chopped mushrooms of your choice (approx. ¼” pieces)
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/4 C water
  • Optional garnishes: olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, plain Greek yogurt, parsley and/or cilantro

Method

  1. Add the butter or oil to a skillet and sauté the onions until translucent, 2-3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  2. Mix together the salt, pepper, cumin/coriander, paprika, cayenne, nutmeg, and cinnamon and stir the spice mix into the skillet. Cook for 1 minute.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together the tomato paste and water.
  4. IF USING BEEF: Add the beef to the skillet and cook until browned, then add the water and tomato paste mix. Let simmer until thickened.
  5. IF USING MUSHROOMS: Add the mushrooms and tomato paste/water mixture to the skillet at the same time. Cover the skillet and simmer for about 10 minutes, until mushrooms are tender.
  6. Plating: Spread a layer of Oasis Street Food hummus to the edges of a bowl or plate. Scoop the masabacha into the middle of the hummus. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, tahini, lemon juice and/or plain Greek yogurt. 
  7. Optional: A few parsley or cilantro sprigs on the top can some color and a little spritz of herby freshness to each bite.

Split Pea Soup

Ingredients

  • 2.5 qts water 
  • 1 lb dry split peas
  • 2 tbsp butter or oil
  • 1 large carrot, cut to ½-inch pieces
  • ½ large yellow onion, minced
  • 8-16 ounces of Oasis Street Food hummus (depending on desired thickness of soup)
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Method

  1. Boil the peas in a large pot until soft, approximately 1 hour, checking back periodically to skim off the starch that floats to the top with a slotted spoon. Don’t drain off the water!
  2. Add the butter or oil to a saucepan. Sauté carrots and onions until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
  3. Add Oasis Street Food hummus to the pot of peas and fold until combined. Let simmer until smooth.
  4. Add the sautéed carrots and onions and the pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil and cook until the carrots are softened to your liking.

Matthieu’s Salmon Cakes

Ingredients

  • 1 5-oz can of salmon
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 stalk of celery, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup flax meal
  • ¼ cup Oasis Street Food hummus
  • Dash lemon juice
  • 1 tsp herbes de Provence
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 cup of breadcrumbs (adjust for consistency)
  • For optional sauce: 4 ounces hummus, 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard (sounds weird, but trust us!), 1 tsp lemon juice

Method

  1. Mix together the salmon, red cabbage, minced celery, olive oil, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, flax meal, hummus, lemon juice, herbes de Provence, salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs in a large bowl. It’s easiest to work the mixture together with your hands.
  2. Add breadcrumbs to the mixture if necessary. The mixture should be sticky, but hold its shape easily when formed.
  3. Form the mixture into golf-ball-sized balls.
  4. Heat a nonstick griddle or pan over medium heat with ¼ inch of oil. Drop the balls into the pan and flatten with a spatula until they are approximately ½ inch thick.
  5. Cook the salmon cakes for five minutes on each side. They should be crisp and golden brown on all sides.
  6. Optionally, mix together the sauce ingredients and place a dollop on the top of each salmon cake to serve.
