Today mom had visitors for lunch, she made fava beans with rice,pasta with veggies,broccoli soup and a big salad, dessert was fruit salad and I made this easy one,Maltesers coconut balls,recipe from my cousin in Irbid the other day.

*ingredients and method:

*2 cups dry milk powder.

* 2 cups coconut.

* 1/2 cup icing sugar.

* 1 pack cream.

* 1 tablespoon butter.

* 3 packs Maltesers.

* Note: I added some orange zest,goes well with it.

* Mix all ingredients together till they’re like a paste then cover each Maltesers ball with it and roll into a ball .

That’s it! you can replace sugar and milk with condensed milk also, same taste.

Kofta Fatteh(فته كفتة).

Hello everybody.

Yesterday’s lunch was a recipe from Al-Rai newspaper 3 weeks ago,wanted to do it since then.
It’s basically Kofta balls or fingers cooked in tomatoes,onions and some tomato paste (كباب هندي) but instead of eating it with rice you serve it as usual fatteh.
Start with a layer of toasted or fried bread,then meat tomato layer then tahini sauce. Finish the dish with chopped parsley and toasted nuts on top,really good try it.

Well as for today’s lunch,we ate at Mom’s. Stuffed vine leaves and courgettes, salad and fruit salad. Delicious thank you my dear mommy.

Pasta in White Sauce (معكرونه بالبشاميل).

Hello everybody.

Bright clear sunny morning after heavy thunder and rain all night,really refreshing though dusty day all over again 🙁

Went shopping as usual , very crowded streets and shops!!! came back to make quick lunch as I have cooked minced meat in freezer so pasta with white sauce was the option,  did fresh roca pomegranate salad with walnuts and grated cheese on top and fresh fruit salad for dessert,all extremely fresh and nutritious.

Ingredients and method for pasta:

* cooked tube shape pasta.

* white sauce (bechamel) ,try to make it not too thick so as it can fill pasta easily.

ingredients and method of white sauce:

  • 4 tablespoons butter.
  • 4 tablespoons flour.
  • 4-5 cups milk.
  • salt,pepper .
  • heat pan then add butter and flour, stir well till flour is golden.
  • add milk gradually and whisk well while doing that till all quantity is well incorporated.
  • add salt and pepper.
  • keep whisking till it boils and becomes thick.
  • add cheese now or later on between pasta layers as you wish.
  • Note: if clots appears you can simply use hand mixer a bit or blender.

* cooked minced meat with tomato sauce ( I added small chopped onion,garlic,basil,oregano and tomato paste.)

* some butter for greasing the pan.

* mozzarella cheese for the top.

 

* grease oven pan with butter then add half of the pasta.

* add half the amount of white sauce then add tomato meat sauce over it.

* add other half of pasta and white sauce,sprinkle with dry oregano and cover.

* bake in a medium heated oven for 30-40 minutes then add cheese on top and roast till golden.

* let it stand to cool a bit for easier serving.
