Simple home dish, most of the ingredients you already have in your pantry. If you are too lazy to prepare meatball sauce, you can use store bought marinara and it will take even less time to prepare this meal.

Argentinian style chili
his dish is a meat lovers dream. It’s warm and heartily stew with chorizo and minced beef. It has mild spiciness and definitely warms you from the inside. I learned that leftovers of this stew go so well with pasta, as a sauce :).
Taiwanese beef noodle soup (Niu Rou Mian)
I am pretty sure that today’s soup I could eat once a week without getting sick of it. Mild hotness, rich taste and after eating a bowl of this soup you’re feeling full for hours. Not to forget the smell!!!
My version is slightly different, because some ingredients are way too hard to find in my country. Also, don’t be afraid of cooking time, the longest period is simmering. You have to be patient, but the taste is definitely worth it.
Lebanese spinach stew
Spinach stew – fragrant and nutritious food that will warm you from inside. Arabic name “Sabanekh w riz” literally translates to “spinach and rice” It’s a simple recipe, you can quickly make it and it’s perfect for weeknight dinner. I would highly recommend making a bigger amount and freezing it until you are too lazy to cook, but want something tasty.
For the vegan version you can change beef to chickpeas. In this recipe I added just a little bit of soaked rice, because I had it from another dish.
Libanese stuffed onions
Libanese stuffed onions are one of the greatest discoveries. All the ingredients combine perfectly and create amazing flavour: onion and sugar sweetness with vinegar sourness, cinnamon and allspice aroma.. And if you serve it with tabbouleh!!! Finger licking is guaranteed :)).
Keftedes (Greek Meatballs)
Keftedes are fried Greek meatballs, usually served as appetizer and, also, as part of meze platter. Keftedes can be served as a main dish with tzatziki, feta salad and rice/potatoes.
I did a slightly healthier version, where keftedes are baked and not fried. However that doesn't mean that they are less delicious. Meatballs are still crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It's so hard not to like them!
Moussaka (greek eggplant and meat lasagna)
Moussaka is greek version of lasagna. Instead of pasta they use my favorite eggplants and / or potatoes. This dish is very aromatic and should be liked by even pickiest eaters.
In my version I used only eggplant, this way the dish becomes a little bit lighter. And do not be afraid, it’s super easy to make.
Gyudon (beef bowl)
This dish can be found all over Japan and there are many fast chain restaurants that make it. Basically, gyudon is Japanese fast food.
