One-Pot Meals

This orzo salad recipe is perfect for a group. Canned garbanzo beans and storebought goat cheese make this a cinch to put together.

Homemade croutons add crunch to this smoky, spicy soup.

Serve this small plate (or meze) with two others—Zucchini Patties with Feta and Fresh Spinach with Garlic-Yogurt Sauce—to begin the meal, and then proceed with Tomato and Mint Salad with Pomegranate Dressing and Spicy Lamb with Charred Eggplant Puree and Pita. Don't forget the Cognac-Glazed Dried Apricots with Cinnamon-Spiced Yogurt to top it all off.
