Eggplant Fatteh ( فته مقدوس)

* 3-4 cubed fried eggplants.

* finely chopped onion.

* roasted or fried squared pitta bread.

* tahini sauce ( tahini,lemon,salt,yoghurt,garlic)

* tomato paste.

* chopped parsley.

* cooked spiced minced meat.

* toasted almonds and pine nuts.

* salt,pepper,all spice and cinnamon for seasoning.

* saute onions till tender then add fried eggplants.

* add all seasoning,tomato paste and enough water to cover all then leave to simmer till sauce is thick and eggplants tender.

* layer pitta bread in Pyrex or serving dish,add eggplant with sauce on top.

* add tahini sauce then garnish with parsley,meat and nuts.

Note: this dish must be assembled right before you serve so as pittas stay crisp otherwise they’ll be so soggy.

As for the soup…you’ll need one small onion.4-5 carrots. 1 cube chicken stock.butter. one big spoon oatmeal.cream or milk and 4 cups water.
Sautee the onions and carrots till tender.add the chicken stock cube.oatmeal and water.salt.pepper and a bit of cinnamon.

Let it simmer for 45 minutes on low heat till carrots are soft.
Mix all with a mixer or blender..add the cream..then let it boil for another 10-15 minutes…..and serve hot with toasted croutons if you like

Extremely Spicy Chicken Wings.

Hello everybody.

Had no clue what to cook though we do have some leftovers but not much.

Went out for some shopping for tomorrow’s lunch at Mom’s,idea struck me when I saw the neat clean wings in chicken fridge, Rania’s wings recipe, she posted them few weeks ago so it’s a good day to try them specially that they’re my youngest favorite and I got some sausages and sauteed them with onions, garlic and olive oil.
Ah almost forgot, did some carrot soup on the side, good in this cold day.

Wings recipe is very easy, here’s its steps :

# marinate wings in lemon and spices.
# dust them all over with equal amounts of flour and semolina.
# keep in freezer for 30 minutes.
# deep fry afterwards.
# melt 3/4 cup of butter with one Tabasco bottle and /or BBQ sauce then dip wings when done in the sauce till all covered.

That’s it,fatty and rich as Zaid loves them but definitely delicious.

Pizza Bites.

Hello everybody.

Sometimes when you do something in hurry it turns out really good but that’s not the case today.

Since I do have some okra from yesterday I needed to do something to go with it,so I decided to make carrot soup and another batch of separable garlic bread cause they were gone in minutes the other time and tried to do the rest of dough as pizza bites, same idea as garlic ones but instead you add pizza sauce ( tomato, pesto,oregano,garlic powder) in between balls and cover with cheese but cause it was a last minute decision and I didn’t have much time in baked them while still not risen well and results weren’t as good as the first time.
That’s a lesson well learned 🙂

dough formed to balls then covered with pizza sauce and cheese.

No Eggs,No Flour,No Milk Cookies.

Hello everybody.

Gave my second cooking lesson today,really excellent one,we did carrot soup,lettuce mushroom salad,chicken rolls filled with broccoli and cheese then dessert was chocolate mousse.

Went back home with an intention to make these cookies,actually a member in banancooking group asked me if I have no flour,no eggs and no milk recipes cause recently she developed an allergy to all these ingredients, so after some research I found a couple of ones, did the cookies today and hopefully will try bread or loaf tomorrow.

Well cookies tasted really good and crunchy,ingredients are all healthy so everybody on diet can eat them without guilt even if not allergic.

Ingredients and method:

* 3 ripe bananas.

* 1 cup raisins ( I added some cranberries also)

* 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp baking powder.

* 1/2 cup crushed mixed nuts.

* 1/3 cup oil.

* 2 cups oatmeal.

*1/2 tsp cinnamon.

* pinch of salt.

* mash bananas then mix all ingredients together.

* use a small spoon and scoop from the batter into a baking tin,then bake for 10-13 minutes .

* leave to cool then store in a closed jar or box.

Burgers in a Bun!

Hello everybody.
Finally the weekend is here. It’s been a long week, full of events.

Well today kids usually go out so I make a light lunch specially if we’re going out at night also.
I still have some burgers in the freezer from last time , so to make a change in taste from regular ones I kneaded a dough, same one I usually do. Grilled burgers till medium done then assembled them in the dough as usual burgers, then baked them altogether.
They really tasted good, juicy and all flavors infused together.
I also made some carrot soup as a starter.

Have a nice weekend my friends♡♥.

Cold today…a soup is a must ( Carrot Soup).

Woke up to a cloudy cold weather….a spicy soup after work and school will be heart warming♡♥.
Of course soup alone won’t be enough…I made Kofta (كفته )….this is an arabic dish…consists of lamb meat finely chopped and mixed with onions.parsley…and spices…I usually buy it ready made from the butcher.
But I do add a bit if ketchup. mustard and oatmeal or breadcrumbs as available.
You spread the meat in a pan..not too thick nor too thin.
Leave it on the oven till all water is dry.
You can do Kofta in many ways..either keep it simple. add olive oil on top and roast it in the oven.
Or add tomato and potato slices..put it the oven till potatoes are tender..then roast it.
Another way is to add tahini yoghurt mixture(طحينيه ) on top and in the oven till it thickens.
It’s usually eaten with pitta bread or plain rice.
