Baked Mazorella Sticks.

Hello everybody.

Plan for today was kofta topped with tomatoes, onions and potatoes with Iranian rice on the side.

That was the main dish, then I decided to try this appetizer when my son sent me the video while in lectures, thought it’ll be a nice surprise when he comes home.

End result is good but definitely fried ones are better but they’ll do as healthier alternative.

You simply coat the mozzarella sticks in flour then dip them in eggs then in breadcrumbs mixed with oregano and spices. Then you repeat process again with eggs and crumbs.

Leave in fridge or freezer then coat with melted butter and bake for 15 minutes.

Kofta Eggplant Bundles.

Hello again.

Lots and lots of eggplants in my fridge, have to cook them before they’re ruin I guess.

Lucky me my sister came to lunch today and she’s an eggplant lover cause half of my family doesn’t eat it at all by the way.

Quick lunch solution, kofta balls wrapped in fried eggplants as bundles then cooked in tomato sauce. Though the shape wasn’t perfect but taste was very good.

I also did some Gazpacho soup, good in this hot weather.

Kofta with Tahini Sauce.

Hello everybody.

Today I splitted the cooked kofta balls into two pans to satisfy all family members.

One pan with onions, garlic, potatoes and tomato sauce for the boys and the other with some potatoes and tahini sauce on top. All then in the oven till a bit roasted.

Love kofta with tahini and this was the only solution to eat it cause mostly I’ll eat it alone, don’t mind that at all

Kofta with Vegetables.

Hello everybody.
Weekend almost over, hope everybody relaxed and boosted for next week.
My husband brought various vegetables from Ghor Thursday so today I made kofta or kebab fingers with a selection of veggies, as I recall some people call this ” Masfoufeh” meaning lined up cause of the way you arrange it in the pan. Please confirm this info if correct or not.
I also made Fatoush, kind of salad with toasted bread and summaq.
Plus, I bought some fresh fruits and mixed them into a great refreshing cocktail.
Ingredients and method:
* 1 kg ready mixed kofta (minced veal with onions and parsley).
* sliced mixed veggies: eggplants, courgettes, pumpkins, potatoes.
* sliced tomatoes and green peppers.
* 1 pack tomato paste.
* 1 cube maggi.
* 1 1/2 cups water.
* salt and pepper.

Fatoush:
This salad is of Libanese origin, it’s basic salad with the addition of radishes,watercress (بقله ), toasted pitta bread with summaq, pomegranate sauce, lemon and olive oil as dressing.

I was lucky my best friend came by for coffee after lunch, great with some dark chocolate.
