Hello everybody.
Back to an old dish today, been a while since I made it.
Chicken with potatoes, of course with some onions and a bit of garlic. I even fried the potato cubes like old times.
Made some coarse mloukhieh on the side since I have chicken broth,yummy with fresh lemon juice and hot pepper.

Hello everybody.
Kibbeh day, intention was to make some mini ones and spread in a pan with nothing else or at least only some fries.
But then one thing led to another, got excited to do more appetizers to complete the Lebanese style, so end result was muhammra, rocca salad, chili potatoes, various types of kibbeh ( even fried the extra dough) and new olives.
All extremely yummy, my favorite kind of food.
one portion of muhammara to go !
