SPICED TURKEY NACHOS WITH HOMEMADE CHEESE SAUCE AND ''CRISPER DRAWER'' SALSA
Variety is the spice of life, and sometimes ground beef nachos and vegetarian nachos ask for the night off. I like making nachos with ground dark meat chicken but even more so with turkey. The turkey takes on the spices as it cooks and melds nicely with the richness of the cheese sauce. I opened my fridge one day and made a salsa from what was hanging around in the crisper drawer. There were no tomatoes, jalapeno or cilantro, so I came up with the crunchier, brighter salsa below. You can make all the components of these nachos in advance then heat and serve when you're ready. You will notice repeat ingredients in the different parts of this recipe. This makes the recipe look more complex than it is, but the taste is worth it! PS - I never say no to a big bowl of guacamole to go with this.... You can also do a plate of fried or scrambled eggs on the side and serve this nacho platter as a Mexican breakfast!

Steps:
- Make the cheese sauce: In a medium pot, bring the milk to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk in the cheese and season with salt to taste. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cool water until it becomes a smooth paste. Whisk the paste into the cheese sauce. Cook, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the Worcestershire, hot sauce and garlic. Taste for seasoning. Shut off the heat. Keep warm.
- Cook the turkey: In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, add the scallions, garlic and a pinch of salt and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the turkey in a thin layer and season with salt. Sprinkle with the chili powder and red pepper flakes. Cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the meat browns and cooks through, 8 to 10 minutes. Shut off the heat. Allow it to rest for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Make the salsa: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lime zest and juice, pickle juice and hot sauce. Toss in the carrots, celery, scallions and radishes with a generous pinch salt. Taste for seasoning.
- Serve: Spread the tortilla chips in an even layer on a baking sheet that can double as a serving platter. Warm the chips in the oven for a few minutes as you heat up the meat. Remove the chips from the oven and spoon the meat all over the chips. Top with spoonfuls of the salsa. Pour cheese sauce over top and sprinkle with jalapeno slices. Serve immediately with sour cream, additional salsa and cilantro (if using) on the side.
SEPHARDIC CHALLAH WITH WHOLE SPICES
Challah is tremendously popular in the United States, among Jews and non-Jews alike. But it doesn't say anywhere in Jewish scripture that challah is a braided, sweet, eggy, deliciously squishy bread of the kind familiar to most Americans; that loaf is Ashkenazi, from Eastern European Jews. The Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews from North Africa and the Middle East, have their own distinct traditional loaves. Here, use the raisins, eggs and full amount of honey to make a richer, festive Sephardic loaf that is delicious by itself; leave them out for a lean, savory Mizrahi bread that goes beautifully with Moroccan tagines and Middle Eastern mezes, salads and dips.

Steps:
- If using, cover raisins in 2 cups/500 milliliters warm water and let plump for 30 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
- In a skillet, toast 1 tablespoon sesame, the caraway and the anise or other seeds over moderate heat until fragrant, 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool.
- In a small bowl, combine yeast with 2 tablespoons warm water (you can use the soaking water from the raisins if handy). Let stand until thoroughly moistened, about 5 minutes.
- In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine flour with olive oil, honey, eggs (if using) and warm water (3/4 cup/180 milliliters if using eggs; 1 1/2 cups/360 milliliters if not).
- Mix at low speed until a very soft dough forms. If it is stiff, add warm water a tablespoon at a time. Add salt, yeast mixture and toasted seeds and mix at medium-low speed until the dough is supple and smooth, 10 minutes. Mix in raisins. Using oiled hands, transfer the dough to a large oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand in a draft-free spot until the dough is doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Lightly oil 2 small cookie sheets and dust them with cornmeal. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and press to deflate. Cut the dough in half and let rest for 5 minutes. Roll each piece into an 18-inch-long rope and let rest for 5 minutes longer, then roll each rope into a 32-inch rope. Take 1 of the ropes and, starting from 1 end, form the dough into a coil; tuck the ends under the completed coil. Repeat with the remaining rope.
- Transfer each coil to a baking sheet and cover each loaf with a large inverted bowl. Let stand for 1 hour, until the loaves have nearly doubled in bulk. (The risen loaves can be frozen, wrapped, for up to 2 weeks; top and bake just before serving.)
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks with 1 tablespoon water. Brush the egg wash over the loaves and let stand uncovered for 30 minutes. Brush with the egg wash once more and sprinkle with the reserved sesame seeds. Bake the loaves side-by-side in the center of the oven for 30 minutes, until they're golden and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Transfer the loaves to racks and let cool before serving or slicing.
EVERYTHING CHALLAH
Challah is traditionally eaten on the Jewish Sabbath (Shabbos). This is not your average challah recipe. It is a twist on my trusty old water challah recipe (which even water-challah-phobics have loved), and has some of the taste of an everything bagel. It's really something else. Enjoy! This challah freezes extremely well after baking, just defrost in a ziplock bag with the zipper open. I always freeze it, even what I bake on Thursday nights for use on Friday! It preserves the freshness so well.

Steps:
- Mix the yeast, water, and sugar together in a large bowl, stir to dissolve the sugar, and let the mixture stand until a creamy layer forms on top, about 5 minutes. Stir in the oil, and sprinkle the yeast mixture with 2 tablespoons of salt, 2 tablespoons of poppy seeds, 2 tablespoons of dried onion, 1 tablespoon of dried garlic, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add the flour a cup at a time up to 6 cups, then add more by half-cups if needed to make an elastic but not sticky dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a compact round shape, and place in an oiled bowl. Turn the dough over several times in the bowl to oil the surface of the dough, cover the bowl with a cloth, and let rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut the dough into 2 equal size pieces. To make 3-strand braided loaves, cut each piece into 3 pieces. Working on a floured surface, roll the small dough pieces into ropes about the thickness of your thumb and about 12 inches long. Ropes should be fatter in the middle and thinner at the ends. Pinch 3 ropes together at the top and braid them. Starting with the strand to the right, move it to the left over the middle strand (that strand becomes the new middle strand.) Take the strand farthest to the left, and move it over the new middle strand. Continue braiding, alternating sides each time, until the loaf is braided, and pinch the ends together and fold them underneath for a neat look. Place the loaves on the prepared baking sheets. Cover the loaves, and let them rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Mix sesame seeds, kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon of poppy seeds, 1/2 teaspoon of dried onion, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried garlic in a small bowl. Brush the loaves with beaten egg, and sprinkle with the seed mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the loaves are cooked through and golden brown, 45 to 60 minutes. Check for doneness after 45 minutes of baking time.

Steps:
- Heat a large non-stick pan over a medium heat and toast the coriander and cumin seeds for 1-2 mins until fragrant. Add the cinnamon, olive oil, aubergine and shallots. Coat the veg in the spices and cook on a medium-low heat for about 10 mins until the aubergine has softened slightly.
- Add the harissa and peppers. Give everything a good stir, then add the tomatoes and crumble over the stock cube. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 mins until the veg is tender and the mixture is nice and thick.
- Stir through the turkey meat and season well. Set aside to cool.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and grease a 23cm springform tin with a little butter. Lay two sheets of filo over the base of the tin and brush with the melted butter. Cross over another two layers of filo and brush again with butter. Repeat once more, then put the cooled filling in the centre. Using the remaining four pastry sheets, cover the filling and brush with more melted butter. Scrunch the top of the pie together and bake for 30-35 mins.
- Remove from the oven and scatter the pie with the flaked almonds. Cook for a final 10 mins until the pie is golden and piping hot. Serve straight away.
