    Mediterranean Inspired Main Dishes

    Whether you indulge in some Tender Slow-Roasted Lamb Shanks, Ouzi Spiced Rice, Bone-In Ribeye, or Chicken Biryani Rice, these main dishes will leave you full and satisfied.

    This Slow Cooker Spaghetti Sauce can be prepared while at work, or this Hawawshi Minced Meat Pita Sandwiches can be frozen for an easy weeknight dinner. Koshari can be batched prepared for an easy reheatable weeknight dinner.

    Do you need an impressive last-minute meal that's perfect every time? Try this Steelhead Trout With Garlic Lime Butter. It's my personal favorite!
