- 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
- 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.
- Mix together the salt, pepper, cumin/coriander, paprika, cayenne, nutmeg, and cinnamon and stir the spice mix into the skillet. Cook for 1 minute.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the tomato paste and water.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- 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!
- Add the butter or oil to a saucepan. Sauté carrots and onions until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
- Add Oasis Street Food hummus to the pot of peas and fold until combined. Let simmer until smooth.
- 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
- 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.
- Add breadcrumbs to the mixture if necessary. The mixture should be sticky, but hold its shape easily when formed.
- Form the mixture into golf-ball-sized balls.
- 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.
- Cook the salmon cakes for five minutes on each side. They should be crisp and golden brown on all sides.
- Optionally, mix together the sauce ingredients and place a dollop on the top of each salmon cake to serve.
