In the past year, Israeli Cuisine has exploded in the culinary world. Ingredients like za'atar, tahini, and silan are as commonplace as salt and pepper. (Ok, slight exaggeration.) Why you may ask? The flavors of Israeli cooking are simultaneously bold and comforting. Think shakshuka, with poached eggs swimming in tomato sauce or a warm fresh out of the oven pita bread overflowing with you name it. Now that we have you salivating, check out these 25 Israeli inspired dishes. Bitayavon! (That's Hebrew for Bon Appetit.)
