A menu inspired by my favorite Israeli brunch classic dishes
It is no secret that I love Middle Eastern cuisine, especially Israeli food. I was inspired to create this menu while preparing for the High Holidays (Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur) - when I was craving a lighter meal after eating all those heavy and rich dishes. Even though this meal is vegetarian, it will leave you satisfied. Give it a try, I know you will love the recipes and pairings as much I do.
