Cypriot Yellow Split Pea Dill Spread : page 201
This is really nice on toasted pumpernickel bread. I was really impressed with the flavor.
I followed the recipe as to the ingredients but not the preparation method. Here's how I made it - I used a pressure cooker for the initial cooking step (my pressure cooker is OK cooking beans without oil but I used my larger one to allow more room in case of foam). About 20 minutes in the pressure cooker got everything smooth and creamy with no need to transfer to a food processor or blender (I skipped the last clove of garlic). I cooked it a bit on low on the stove to thicken it a bit. After it had cooled, it thickened up to spread consistency.

Italian Stuffed Griddle Dumplings (Consum) : page 212
All this is is tender cooked greens stuffed into pita and dry toasted in a cast iron skillet. Somehow the completd product is exceptional. (maybe I just needed a new way to eat greens!) I used beet greens,spinach and arugula.
Actual recipe was downgraded for not specifying size of pita and amount of filling per dumpling.

Wheatberry Pancakes : page 197
I'm always looking for new recipes to justify the purchase of my high powered blender. This recipe is pretty amazing.
You take whole wheatberries and flax seed and blend them up on high power with a few other ingredients including chickpea flour to make the pancake batter. There is no added oil in this recipe, so I expected them to stick horribly. I cooked them on a non-stick crepe pan and they came out perfectly - no sticking. They were surprisingly fluffy, too.
They do taste "healthier" than a classic diner pancake, but I actually prefer that taste.
