Shakshouka
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Very appealing to Western taste)
4 Tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
4 Big size green peppers, seeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon Ground corriander
Fry green peppers with tablespoon vegetable oil and teaspoon olive oil. When slightly tender, add over the garlic and cook a few minutes longer.
Add over the rest of the ingredients and stir over medium heat for 10 minutes or till mixture thickens.
Serve this appetizer with fresh pita bread,Hummus and thinly sliced Beef or Lamb
Hummus With Spicy Lamb
Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained
1/3 cup sesame tahini
Juice of 1 lemon (about 1/4 cup)
1/3 cup water
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 pound ground lamb
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
Fresh pita bread
Combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic, cumin and salt in a food processor and pulse until chunky smooth, about 10 to 15 seconds. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium-high flame. Add the onion, allspice, cinnamon and both peppers. Saute until onion is tender, about 4 minutes.
Add the lamb and saute until browned, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Spoon the hummus into a wide, shallow bowl, making a well in the center. Garnish the hummus with parsley and paprika. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the lamb, draining the fat, into the well. Serve with fresh pita. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
Beef Shawarma
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Small tenderloin of beef, about 3 lbs (trim skin layer if necessary; ask butcher for details)
1 cup catsup (TRUST ME!)
1 Tbs shawarma spice
1 cup fresh lemon juice
½ cup olive oil
1 Tbs dried cilantro (coriander leaves)
1 large onion, color your choice, finely diced
2 medium to large ripe tomatoes, finely chopped
Slice tenderloin 1/4" thick (firming the meat by partially freezing helps), then dice coarsely. Be sure undesirable skin has been removed!
Meat slices can be smoked, low heat, for a couple of hours over the wood of your choice. I like oak, or alder. However, the smoking step can be omitted, as a matter of time or preference.
Combine all other ingredients, except onion and tomatoes. Stir in with meat, and place in a suitable container to marinate for 8-48 hours in a cold refrigerator.
To cook, spread meat/marinade evenly over shallow cakesheet, roaster, etc. Broil close to the upper burner, until desired doneness. Spread tomatoes and onions over mix, broil further until veggies are tender.
Stir, and serve with hummus ,tomatos and flatbread wedges.
Note: This recipe works well with lamb or chicken, too, same quantity, by weight.

I'm not sure about that but you should definitely check out the Google Recipe Search. It allows you to type in a few ingredients for something you want to find and then it brings back recipes. It's great when you don't know what you want for dinner or have some odd ingredients in the house you want to use up. Anyway, this is how you have to do it.
1. Go to google.com
2. Type in recipe:
3. Then after that type in the ingredients you have and search.
Your search should look something like this:
recipe: hummus beef olive oil tomatoes
