Nik Sharma’s Sumac-Seared Scallops with Mostarda
Most seafood benefits from a dash of acid. In this recipe, however, I skip the usual suspects (lemons, limes, and vinegar) and opt for sumac, a common spice in North African and Middle Eastern households. The small fruit, from which the powdered sumac is obtained, has a strong, lemony acidity, which makes sumac a great substitute when you’re out of citrus.
Nik Sharma’s Spicy Chocolate Chip–Hazelnut Cookies
Black pepper and ginger add a kick of spicy heat, which intensifies the taste of the chocolate. If you want these even spicier, double the amount of pepper. The hazelnut extract amps up the hazelnut flavor of the nut meal. The end result is a chocolate chip cookie that’s irresistible.
Margherita Naan Pizza
I like to pair dishes, like a Margherita pizza, with bold, unconventional flavors, like coriander and nigella seeds.
Ghee
Ghee is one of the most popular fats used in Indian cooking. It is a form of clarified butter, from which the milk solids and water are removed.
