Today I am sharing a very quick and easy recipe: Macadamia Dukkah. Quick and easy for sure, and also incredibly delicious!
Christmas 2019 Round-Up
As Christmas is coming up, I thought it would be nice to put together a little Christmas 2019 Round-Up specifically for this special occasion.
Low Fodmap Roasted Pumpkin Dip
This Low Fodmap Roasted Pumpkin Dip is just perfect for pumpkin season! I am sure my friends in the Northern Hemisphere will be looking forward to the cooler autumn months. Am I right?
Low Fodmap Lamb Kofte Kebabs
I love these Low Fodmap Lamb Kofte Kebabs! They are so juicy and make the perfect dinner, especially when paired with a delicious salad.
Low Fodmap Pork Gyros
After showing you how to make Low Fodmap Pita Pockets, I am back with the perfect filling: Low Fodmap Pork Gyros everyone!
Low Fodmap Pita Pockets
I am very excited about today’s recipe. I created these Low Fodmap Pita Pockets to be able to enjoy sandwiches on my Low Fodmap diet and they came out perfect!
Middle-Eastern Chargrilled Pumpkin Salad
I made this Middle-Eastern Chargrilled Pumpkin Salad as one of the side dishes for our Christmas Eve dinner, as it paired really well with the stuffing of the roast pork I had made. I loved the blend of Middle Eastern spices that goes into this warm simple salad. Sumac is one of my all time…
Chicken Kabsa
For the month of October, Sawsan from Chef in Disguise challenged us to prepare a rice based main meal that represents our own culture, or one from a cuisine that we would like to explore. Now that’s the kind of Daring Cooks challenge I like! I love rice actually. At first I thought of making risotto,…
Freekeh Soup
As you know, I am travelling at the moment, so I thought of asking some of my favourite food blogger friends to come over and share some of their amazing creations with all of you! I told you I would leave you in great company, right? I am double excited about today’s guest: Sawsan from…
Moroccan Beef Kefta Briouat #SundaySupper
This week the #Sunday Supper team is celebrating the Oscars! We will be showcasing all sorts of “Red carpet” food! Don’t you love the theme? When I saw the theme, I thought of making something special and a bit unusual, at least for me. I wanted something that you could eat with your hands, maybe…
Moroccan Mint Tea
I love Moroccan Mint Tea, so it was the first thing I chose to prepare for my Daring Cooks’ Middle Eastern Breakfast. It traditionally hails from the Maghreb region (Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia), but it has now spread throughout the Arab world. It is more like a “social drink” served to guests and I would…
Za’atar Manouche
Manouche, also known as Manakish, is a popular Levantine bread topped with a thyme mixture (Za’atar), cheese, or ground meat. It is similar to a pizza and it can be sliced or folded. It is often served for breakfast, which makes this bread perfect for the Middle Eastern breakfast I had to prepare for this…
Ful Medames
I made this dish for the Middle Eastern breakfast we were asked to prepare for this month’s Daring Cooks challenge. Ful Medames is an Egyptian dish made with cooked and mashed fava beans, tomatoes, tahini, lemon juice, fresh coriander leaves, spring onions and extra virgin olive oil. It is a staple meal in Egypt, but…
Middle Eastern Breakfast
For the February Daring Cooks challenge, Manal from Manal’s Bites invited us to celebrate the most important meal of the day Middle Eastern style! As Manal says “Breakfast is a very important meal in the Middle East; it is major! […] Fridays, the first day of the weekend here in this part of the world is the…
Sun-dried Tomato and Chickpea Maftoul Salad
A few months ago, I shared with you the recipe for Maftoul with Chicken, a traditional Palestinian dish. As you know I am part of the Daring Cooks and one of the challenges was to make Maftoul from scratch! So, what is Maftoul? I have seen it many times on the shelves of my local…
Tomato and Labneh Salad with Pomegranate Dressing
Today I want to share with you the recipe for a Middle Eastern inspired salad. I have just recently begun to explore what I call “the amazing world of salads”. It is amazing indeed. Growing up, salad was always lettuce (or tomatoes) dressed with vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and salt. Nothing wrong with that,…
Maftoul with Chicken
The May Daring Cooks’ Challenge was hosted by the incomparable Sawsan from Chef in Disguise. Sawsan challenged us to try our hands (literally!) at making maftoul – hand-rolled Palestinian couscous that is as versatile as it is tasty! Wow was the only word that I could utter when I saw this month’s challenge! I love Sawsan’s…
Fattoush with Sumac Dressing
For March’s Daring Cooks’ Challenge, Ruth, Shelley and Sawsan asked us to totally veg out! We made salads and dressings, letting the sky be the limit as we created new flavors and combinations that reflect our own unique tastes. Ohhhh yesss! That’s exactly what went through my mind when I read about the challenge! It…
COUSCOUS PUDDING WITH CANDIED ORANGES
Couscous is a favourite at our home. Also my little ones love it, so I make it often. And I often have leftovers… actually, I confess… I make more on purpose to have leftovers. I love making all kinds of salads with it (see my Couscous and Herb Salad and Couscous, Olive and Orange Salad) and…
GARAM MASALA AND PRESERVED LEMON HUMMUS
Do you remember I had told you I would be making more food from my friend Rhonda’s site, The Kitchen Witch? When I got assigned her blog for this month’s Secret Recipe Club, I had to chose only one recipe to publish on reveal day and I chose her amazing Sweet Chilli and Orange Chicken…
JALEBI – जलेबी
Tomorrow marks the beginning of Diwali (दिवाली), the “festival of lights”, a 5-day Indian festival that celebrates the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. Light is the symbol of the celebrations, so much so that many candles and oil lanterns are lit during the 5 days of the festival. Another very important…
LABNEH
If you follow this blog, you know that cheese is my weakness. I can do without dessert, but if I see cheese… well, I have to have some! After making home made yogurt, I had to try my hands at making home made labneh. I had seen a picture of it on my friend Sawsan’s…
