Orange Marmalade.

Hello everybody.

It’s citrus fruits season, I always make the old oranges into marmalade. Very delicious with cheese and butter or even over cakes or pudding.
Saw this method on TV long time ago and been using it since then.

* boil oranges and/or mandarins as is, I mean without peeling or cutting for 10 minutes.
* remove water and add another, boil again for 1 hour.
* cool then cut to thin slices or you can use food processor.
* add one cup of sugar to each cup of orange mixture.
* add juice of half or one lemon according to your amount.
* over low heat leave to simmer for another one hour.keep stirring occasionally so that particles won’t stick in the bottom.
* cool then pour into clean sterilized jars.

طريقة مرملاد البرتقال :
# تغلى حبات البرتقال مع مندلينا اذا رغبتوا كما هي بدون تقطيع او تقشير لمده 10 دقائق.
#تصفى الماء ونضع ماء مره اخرى ويغلى البرتقال لمده ساعه تقريبا.
#يقطع البرتقال مع اللب شرائح رفيعة او يهرس بمحضره الطعام.
# يضاف كوب سكر لكل كوب برتقال مع عصير نص ليمونه او ليمونه كامله حسب كميه البرتقال.
#يغلى المزيج على نار هادئة لمده ساعه او حتى يتماسك مع التحريك بين فتره واخرى.
#يبرد ويحفظ في مرطبانات نظيفه ومعقمه.
صحتين وعافيه

beautiful Christmas gift.

Old Fashioned Chicken and Potatoes.

Hello everybody.

Chicken with potatoes, of course with some onions and a bit of garlic. I even fried the potato cubes like old times.

lovely cherries gave the cake a great taste.

Another Kibbeh Fiesta.

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 !

Lamb Chops Over Salt.

Hello again.

Another cooking over salt today, this time with lamb chops. Result was awesome, tender aromatic well done meat.

I simply added spices and rosemary to chops and layered them over a bed of salt with some baby onions and potato.

Cover tightly with foil paper then into the oven for one hour, uncover and drizzle with olive oil. Leave to rest for 10 minutes then dig in.

Chops weren’t salty at all, juicy and tender just perfect. Highly recommended method, I’m now thinking what to try next time 😀
