    Can substitute this book's "Yeasted wheat flour flatbread (Pan Árabe)" for pita bread.

    Have cooked this a few times, always comes out great. I actually prefer this with a thicker slice of pork shoulder- but of course adjust the cook time. Pairs perfectly with the salsa chipotle and cucumber as recommended.

    These were a hit with our guests. The pork shoulder was a little too fatty for my taste, so I ended up cutting a lot of the unrendered fat away. The recipe doesn’t tell you to do this, but you need to slice the meat thinly before mixing with the parsley and serving. I had just enough left to serve four people (and my steaks were slightly larger than the recipe called for), and wished it yielded more. When I make it again I will cook three steaks for every two guests. We served with salsa chipotle, cucumbers, radishes, tomato, avocado, and onions.

    Fusion tacos, blending Mexican and Iraqi flavors, these are an absolute winner and an easy weeknight dinner. I had thin-cut boneless pork loin chops, although from the fattier end of the loin these are less fatty than pork shoulder so I added some olive oil to the marinade, and let it sit for three hours before cooking. Again since it wasn’t the shoulder cut, I fished the meat out of the marinade to cook, and sautéed the marinade mixture with the pan drippings before serving. Absolutely delicious, my family asked that this be put in regular rotation.
