Soutzoukakia are traditional Greek meatballs seasoned with cumin and served with a thick tomato sauce. This is a hearty dish, perfect for a big family meal. You can serve these meatballs with basmati rice, mashed potatoes, fries, or a big Greek salad (we recommend the salad because it balances the rich meatballs and sauce beautifully).
Nihari is a deliciously aromatic and flavorful stew made with slow-cooked beef. It’s very filling and hardy. Historians believe it was once served as breakfast to help workmen and laborers stay fueled all day long. Though this recipe cooks for 6-10 hours in a slow cooker, it only requires thirty minutes of active participation for the nihari. We’ve included instructions for making a batch of naan (flatbread) which goes with the stew wonderfully.

It’s a rich, decadent, flavorful delight, perfect for the cheese lover.
This soup is originally from Yunnan Province, a region of southwestern China. Because Yunnan is the province with the largest number of ethnic minority groups in the country, the cuisine is varied and defies generalizations. Though, some consider it to be a little closer to Southeast Asian cuisines. This dish is a mildly spicy noodle soup with a hint of sour and plenty of deep flavor. We slightly altered the recipe from the authentic original to use ingredients available at the Co-op.

However, you can use silken tofu, and it’s still delicious. You would also generally use Korean chili powder, but regular chili powder works too. Any kimchi can be used for this recipe, and the flavor will change slightly accordingly. Start by using your favorite, and then you can try others if you want.

They’re gluten-free and vegan and incredibly easy to make at home!
