Ouzo Snapper

Rub mild whole snapper with licorice-scented ouzo, the national drink of Greece, and roast over a bed of tomatoes, fennel, and sweet onions for a simple and satisfying dinner party centerpiece. The vegetables also get a splash of ouzo before roasting for a sweet and slightly acidic complement to the flaky fish.
Saganaki Halloumi

Halloumi cheese is fried in clarified butter, then brushed in a spiced honey and served with lemon yogurt, brandy-basted nectarines, and fresh tomatoes in this sweet and savory appetizer from chef Christian Hernandez.
Zeytinyağli Yaprak Sarmasi

These tangy, tender vegetarian rice and herb-stuffed grape leaves are a great appetizer from the Turkish region of Mugla. The rice filling is seasoned with fresh parsley and dill and slightly sweet cooked onions to balance the bright brined grape leaves.
Lahem Meshwy

These grilled lamb kebabs have been a mainstay at League of Kitchens instructor Jeanette Chawki‘s family cookouts for years. Cook the lamb evenly with equal-sized cubes; simply spice with paprika, salt, and pepper; and feel free to mix and match the vegetables on each skewer.
