That’s right, if you are a fan of cuisines of the Middle East region, you will love this new addition to our many offerings. Here is a short excerpt from the new central hub page for this grouping of ethnic cuisines:
This Iranian Chelow Kabab recipe is taken from our new Middle Eastern page. For more delicious dishes from the Middle East like this one, click here.
Served on skewers over a bed of rice, Iranian Chelow Kabab is the country’s national dish. There are almost as many variations on the Chelow Kabab as there are chefs, as the seasonings can vary. This is a more traditional, rather basic recipe, with just a few herbs for seasoning. But believe me, it is packed full of flavor.
Iranian Chelow Kabab is best prepared on a grille, if you want the traditional and authentic flavor. I prefer real hardwood lump charcoal, but you could also use a gas grille with some good quality wood chips. Just please do not use petrol-based charcoal briquettes – they are not only bad for your health, they will in no way produce Chelow Kabab that is true to real Iranian cuisine.

This Cuban Ropa Vieja recipe is taken from our Caribbean Islands Cuisine/Cuban Cuisine page. For more delicious dishes from the Caribbean Islands, please check those pages out. There are many offerings for you.
Cuban Ropa Vieja (basically, seasoned, slow-cooked and shredded beef) is a classic Cuban dish, a national favorite. Similar to the pulled pork so popular in the Americas, but of course very uniquely Cuban in its spices and flavors.
This Spanish Asparagus with Citrus Sauce recipe is taken from our Spanish Cuisine page. If you like truly authentic and traditional Spanish dishes like this one, you will fine more on that page.
Asparagus with Citrus Sauce is a splendid blend of sparkling and fruity citrus flavors with either white or green asparagus. It is truly one of the most savory, and best Spanish “tapas” recipes to be found and enjoyed. The Spanish full name is “Espárragos con Salsa de Naranja y Limón” (Asparagus with Orange and Lemon Sauce). Tapas are a favored style of eating, usually mid-day, in Spain. A wide selection of delightful, small servings of many different tastes and textures are served.
