Instructions
- 1
Make Alix’s Easy Banana Donuts: Add the canola oil to a large Dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C).
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the bananas, yogurt, milk, and sugar. Stir in the flour until just combined.
- 3
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 1 minute, until all the flour has been incorporated.
- 4
Roll the dough into 2-tablespoons balls; you should have about 24.
- 5
Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, fry the donuts in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, 3–4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining donuts.
- 6
Let the donuts cool slightly, then spread a bit of cream cheese frosting on top of each and garnish with rainbow sprinkles.
- 7
Make Zoya’s Spiced Eggplant Wraps: Season the eggplant slices on both sides with salt. Let sit for 5 minutes, until moisture begins to appear on the surface.
- 8
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, the garlic powder, turmeric, and paprika.
- 9
Blot the eggplant slices of excess water with paper towels, then season on both sides with the spice mixture.
- 10
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add the eggplant slices in a single layer and cook until browned and tender, 3–4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining eggplant slices, adding more oil as needed.
- 11
To assemble the wraps, spread a few tablespoons of hummus and labne over a piece of lavash bread. Top with some of the grilled eggplant, tomato, radish, basil, mint, and dill. Tightly wrap up. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 6 wraps total.
- 12
Make Zoya’s Shirazi Salad: In a large bowl, toss together the cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, mint, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well-combined. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
- 13
Serve immediately.
