Hello everybody.
Light vegetarian lunch today, got some fresh string beans before they’re out of season. A favorite in my family.
Did some yogurt two days ago, added one tablespoon of powder milk with the yogurt to warm milk this time, so good I think I’ll be doing it all the time.
Hello everybody.
Couldn’t resist and wait to make this pizza, search for the original recipe was very easy and anyways my cousin living in Rome posted it last night and told me how to make it.
Some recipes add ranch sauce or sour cream but guess this one is more basic and pure Italian.
Well taste and aroma are miraculous, rosemary gives it a real nice twist.
Ingredients and method :
#simple pizza dough (the 10 minutes miracle one)
# 2 large potatoes cut to very thin slices ( don’t peel them)
# fresh or dry rosemary.
# coarse kosher salt.
# crushed pepper.
# olive oil.
# mozzarella cheese.
# coat potatoes with some olive oil,cover and microwave for 2 minutes so as to tenderize.
# spread pizza dough then sprinkle with a bit of the cheese.
# arrange potatoes all over then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
# bake in a medium heated oven for 30 minutes or till bottom and crust are golden.
# add cheese on top and roast till it melts.
easy basic ingredients.
Remaining dough turned into a regular pizza with some kalamata olives. Yummy 😋

Hello everybody.
Back to normal routine now that Eid vacation is over.
Cleaning and arranging back Eid stuff till next year Inshallah.
Milk man passed by with fresh milk this morning,took some and made caramel muhalabieh for my uncle,an extra kilo also to make some yogurt.
It’s a very easy way though it’ll be much more thick and creamy if I used goat milk but cow is fine also.
You simply boil milk very well then leave to cool till warm (28-30 degrees) I actually could tell when it’s tolerable for me to dip my finger it ( clean hands of course). Then to each kilo of milk you add one tablespoonful of ready yogurt, stir well then cover and wrap very good in a blanket,I use this special handmade wrap for rice.
Leave to ferment for one night or several hours then cool in fridge.
That’s it, will show you results tomorrow.
milk and yogurt mix.
all wrapped up till tomorrow.

My sweet stuffed pickled peppers are done, so yummy!
