Hello everybody.
Tomatoes are in season now and I do have plenty cause my hubby planted some in the farm and it all ripened in this heat, so better do something with it.
Searched for ways to make dried tomatoes, results were either in the oven for 5-7 hours which is something I’ll never do in this heat or sun-dried for 3 days and since weather is dry and hot these days so this was my option.
You simply cut ripe hard tomatoes to halves or quarters, remove seeds and watery bulb, sprinkle freely with salt and/or pepper, oregano and basil.
Spread all on a flat sieve or wooden tray, I flattened them on a metal mesh ( the one we use for BBQ) and leave them in the sun for three days or till completely dry .
Cover with cheese cloth or anything light to keep insects and dust away.
Will post end result when they’re done.
salt,pepper,oregano and basil on top.

Hello everybody.
Had this recipe in my book since Ramadan,a friend of mine made it and I took it right away in order to make it then but I didn’t have any chance,so today when the milkman came it crossed my mind and I bought some fresh milk and did it at last.
Very easy cooling recipe and the caramel adds a lot to the taste for sure.
Ingredients and method:
Note :this quantity yields 12 small jars or pots.
* 6 cups milk.
* 6 big tablespoons starch.
* 1 tsp mistaka finely crushed with 1/4 cup sugar so as not to stick to the grinder.
* 1 tsp rose water (optional)
* more sugar also optional cause the caramel sauce is sweet.
* leave one or two cups of milk aside and mix starch in them very well.
* add to other quantity,mix all very well then boil till it thickens.
* add mistaka and sugar and the rose water.
* pour in one big bowl or small glass bowls or jars.
* cool in the fridge for at 2-3 hours .
Caramel:
* 1/2 cup sugar melted till caramelized and golden.
* 1/2 cup water added very carefully to the browned sugar.
* stir very well and leave to simmer a bit till it’s thick.
* Before serving flip the muhalabieh in a slightly deep dish then garnish with crushed pistachios and drizzle with the caramel sauce.
