Hello everybody.
Was going through recipes looking for something different to do with chicken breasts cause all ones I did are repeated when I saw this one, didn’t have tortilla bread through but I have some thin Arabic shrak,worked well enough cause result was delicious.
Guess the sour taste gave the sauce a sharp nice flavor. Believe me this is a good recommended one.
Ingredients and method :
# 1 shredded chicken breast.
# 1 small onion diced.
# 2 chopped sun-dried tomatoes (optional)
# 3 tsp butter
# 3 tsp flour.
# 2 cups chicken broth.
# 1 cup sour cream (I mixed 1/2 labaneh and 1/2 yogurt)
# 1 chili green pepper crushed.
# grated cheese (used cheddar and mazorella or any kind you like)
# 10 soft tortilla bread or shrak.
# mix chicken, onions, sun-dried tomatoes and some of the cheese together.
# In a pan heat butter then add flour and mix well.
# slowly add chicken broth and mix well till it boils and thickens.
# leave to cool down then add sour cream and chili and mix well.
# stuff tortillas with chicken mix and roll.
# In a deep oven pan add a bit of the sauce then line up chicken rolls.
# add the rest of the sauce on top.
# sprinkle rest of cheese on top.
# bake in a medium heated oven for 20 minutes.
# roast top till golden.
Note: leave to cool a bit before serving to give it time to hold up.

highly recommended dish.
Hello everybody.
Plan today was to make date rolls مقروطه to take them as presents and giveaways but I was caught up in time so a quicker solution was to spread it in the pan as sheets.
Three layers of dough and two of dates, result was very good maybe a bit thick but taste is great.

Hello everybody.
Today is meat day for protein source in the diet.
For a change I looked through my cookbooks for something new and came across this one, personally I loved it meaning not all family members found it unusual but it was worth trying.
It’s basically two thin slices of steaks stacked together with cheese, onions and blackened or roasted capsicum or sweet red peppers.
You then wrap them as a parcel then grill on both sides till golden. Leave in the oven covered for half an hour later on in very low heat.
I did some mushroom risotto and sauce on the side.

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.
