Easy Eid Recipes
Hajj season has begun, at the end of which Muslims the world over will celebrate Eid al-Adha, the second of two Muslim holidays in the lunar calendar year. Most people will have small or large gatherings, though not as large as ‘Eid al-Fitr, or the celebration that marks the end of the month of fasting during Ramadan.
That said, doesn’t every celebration have great food? I hand-picked several of my favorite recipes listed here on My Halal Kitchen for you to choose from.

Why not make a simple, special meal for two, three or four? These elegant recipes will fill your table with flavor while not keeping you in the kitchen all morning long.
Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Pasta
Mediterranean Spiced Grilled Chicken
Lamb Chops in Creamy Mint Sauce

Side Dishes
I love these side dishes for how healthy, quick and easy they are to make. Can’t find radicchio? Substitute cabbage instead? Your grocery store doesn’t have corralini pasta? Just pick up some penne instead. They’re versatile and light, making it easier for everyone to leave room for dessert!
Peppers & Tomatoes Stuffed with Couscous
Quinoa with Swiss Chard, Garlic & Tomatoes
Desserts
Who doesn’t look forward to dessert? Cakes. Cookies. Ice cream. We know we shouldn’t indulge at any time, but during Eid it’s definitely an occasion to try a sampling. These are made with healthy, all-natural ingredients, taking off some of the guilt factor. Just some…
