This is one of my at home favorite appetizers. Warm from the pan or prepared ahead and chilled, it's a great beginning to the table while you open wine and settle in for a great meal together. The combination of roses and nutmeg in Shawarma East along with the Tunisian-Style Cured Lemons is irresistible for warm bread.

Recipe Notes

If making ahead, I like to keep the fresh ricotta and cooked swiss chard separate until I’m ready to plate them.

I also really love the warm swiss chard with the cool fresh ricotta.
