Two Yotam Ottolenghi recipes from NYT Cooking. Grilled Cucumbers with Tomato Cardamom Dressing and Mozzarella, served with Jerusalem Lamb Shawarma. Ottolenghi is a master of combining flavors and preparing food in unexpected ways. The cucumber dish is incredible and gets a 5. The flavors of the lamb are also amazing, but parts of it came out rather dry. Our leg didn't have much fat on it, and the oven is a convection oven—wondering if one of those is why it came out dry. Loved the flavor, wish it was moister, so it gets a 4.
