What do we think of this version of Sivan? This is me in my element… having fun, cooking, singing along, and making one of my all-time favorite recipes. Not your grandmother’s matbucha… although she would probably approve. Make sure you’re using an oven-safe pot. I love this cast iron one. Comment LINK and I’ll send you links to everything I used in this video. This oven-baked version is so much easier than standing over a hot stove for hours. The oven does all the hard work while slowly transforming the tomatoes, peppers, garlic, and olive oil into a rich, jammy matbucha packed with flavor. And honestly, the deep roasted flavor is something the stovetop just can’t replicate. Ingredients • 12 vine-ripened tomatoes (about 5 pounds / 2.3 kg) • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks • 10 Serrano chilies (adjust to your preferred spice level) • Handful of garlic cloves • 1 cup olive oil • 1/4 cup sweet paprika • 1/4 cup sugar • 1 heaping tablespoon salt Instructions 1. Remove the cores

Almost made it in 30 minutes… fine, it was 43 😅 but look at THIS. Juicy lemony chicken ktzitzot, fluffy baked rice, and my favorite crunchy coleslaw… aka a full dinner everyone actually wants to eat. Kids are obsessed, parents get a win, and the best part? 👉 Leftovers = tomorrow night’s dinner ✔️ Save this one… you’ll be making it on repeat. Comment “links” and I’ll send you all my favorite kitchen tools that I used! ✨ Chicken Meatballs * 1½ lbs ground chicken (dark or white meat) * 1 medium sweet potato, grated * 1 onion, finely chopped * ½ bunch cilantro, chopped * ½ bunch dill, chopped * ½ bunch parsley, chopped * 2–3 tbsp oil * 2 tsp salt * 1 tsp black pepper * 1 tsp turmeric Sauce * 1 package frozen peas * 4–5 celery ribs, chopped * Juice of 1 lemon * 2 tsp salt * 1 tsp black pepper * 1 tsp turmeric * 3 cups chicken stock (or water + consommé) Baked Rice * 2 cups raw basmati rice * 3 cups chicken stock (or water + consommé) * Drizzle of oil Easy Coleslaw * ½ white cabba

Stop 🛑 everything you’re doing and make this chocolate cake.🍫 Comment “link” and I’ll send you the tools so used in this video✨ I genuinely couldn’t believe how good it turned out. Just 6 simple ingredients, naturally sweetened with maple syrup, and honestly better than many box cakes. It’s unbelievably moist, comes together in minutes, and you can make it in a blender, food processor, or simply mix it in a bowl. Even better? It can easily be made gluten-free. Ingredients * 3 large eggs, room temperature * ¾ cup maple syrup * ½ cup neutral oil * ½ cup coconut milk, milk, or brewed coffee * ¼ cup (30g) unsweetened cacao powder * 1½ cups self-rising flour* Pinch of salt (optional) Optional: Chocolate chips for topping No self-rising flour?

I don’t think I’ve ever received so many compliments on my Shabbat Moroccan fish. ❤️🔥 My family couldn’t stop talking about it, and I have to say… it was the easiest version I’ve ever made. Chraime is a classic Moroccan fish dish made with tender fish simmered in a rich, spicy tomato sauce that’s perfect for soaking up with fresh challah. I loved cooking it in my new @ruffoniofficial pot. Not only is it absolutely stunning, but it cooked the fish beautifully. Check out their page for more of their gorgeous cookware✨ For a link to printable recipe everything else I used in this video, comment LINK and I’ll send it to you❤️ Ingredients * About 2 lb white fish fillets (cod, halibut, sea bass, etc.) or salmon if preferred * ½ cup light olive oil * 2 heaping tbsp sweet paprika (not smoked) * 1 tbsp cayenne pepper (adjust to your preferred spice level) * 2 tsp ground cumin * 2 tsp salt * 1 generous handful chopped garlic * ½ cup tomato paste * Juice of 1 lemon (about ½ cup) * 6–8 lem

Stop 🛑 throwing out perfectly good veggies, do this instead 👇🥒✨ Comment “jars” and I’ll send you a direct link for these jars💚 If you’re anything like me, you buy fresh veggies… then discover perfectly good ones still hiding in the fridge drawer. Instead of tossing them, I turn everything into the easiest homemade pickles and honestly, my family devours them every single time. Just a few minutes, one, two, or three jars, and in a couple of days you’ve got the most delicious crunchy snack waiting for you. I promise this will become a regular in your home too 💛 How to make them: • Any vegetables you have, cut up • Add to a 1 L jar • 2 tbsp kosher salt • ½ cup white distilled vinegar • Fill the rest with filtered water Leave the jar on your counter for 2 days, then they’re ready to eat. I like to move mine to the refrigerator after that to keep them nice, cold, and crisp. They can last for months in the fridge… but realistically? Not a chance 😉 Prefer salt-only pickles? Skip the vine

DON’T 🛑 throw away your overripe bananas. Eggless, no refined sugar banana date cake🍌 Coming from someone who is not a banana bread fan… this was absolutely incredible. If there ever was a cake, so simple, this would be it. No need for a mixer, blender or any electrical appliances. Date molasses (silan) can be swapped for maple syrup. You can use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour — just make sure to add 1 teaspoon (6 g) baking powder. You can also use 2 full cups almond flour (200 g) instead of regular flour, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder in as well. Ingredients • 3 very ripe bananas (330–360 g, peeled) • ¾ cup date molasses / silan or maple syrup (240 g) • ½ cup avocado oil (110 g) • 1 tsp vanilla extract (5 g) • ½ tsp salt (4.5 g) • 1 tsp baking soda (6 g) • 1 tbsp cinnamon (6.5 g) • 1½ cups self-rising flour (225 g) (or all-purpose flour + 1 tsp / 6 g baking powder) Optional toppings: • Chocolate chips (70 g) • Slivered almonds (15–25 g) • whole dates

Zero food waste in my kitchen, especially when it comes to bread. Since I bake challah every Friday, I occasionally end up with a leftover loaf. While I love making French toast and bread pudding, crispy homemade croutons are the one we make the most in our house. They’re perfect on salads, soups, or even straight from the jar as a snack! They last fresh up to 10 days, and they can be stored in the fridge for longer freshness. Instructions: Slice your leftover challah into cubes and spread them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly spray with avocado oil or drizzle with avocado or olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and your favorite seasoning, I love za’atar, but Everything Bagel seasoning is also delicious. Toss to coat evenly. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 20–25 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Let the croutons cool completely before storing them in a glass jar. What do you do with your leftover challah or bread? Let me know in the co

The easiest one-pan dinner you’ll ever make👌 Comment “link” for gold pan and gold bowls💛 Everything goes into one baking pan, the oven does all the work, and dinner practically makes itself. Tender beef, baby potatoes, onions, tomatoes, garlic, and jalapeños (or sweet peppers) roast low and slow in a rich, sweet-and-savory sauce with tomato paste, olive oil, date molasses, pomegranate molasses, and warm spices until the beef is fall-apart tender and every bite is packed with flavor.

I didn’t think I could top my sheet pan kebabs… until I made them with fish. Since it’s fish, I finally got to pile on a creamy homemade tzatziki, roasted peppers and onions, wrap it all in a warm pita, and it turned into one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a long time.
