Ma3moul and Date Rolls Lesson ( حصه عمل مقروطه ومعمول)
Hello everybody.
Today I was honored and privileged to share a lesson with my dear cousin in her training center ‘Ribbon Cake’ ,she gave her part in making ma3moul with its stuffing, dates,walnuts and pistachios plus making Sable cookies in various shapes.
My part was teaching how to make my specialty Date Rolls, I really enjoyed my time a lot,it’s the first time I do this, did it before but in my house and with family and friends, hope the ladies enjoyed the lesson as well.
As you all know Adha Eid is within 10 days and many housewives started preparing for it,this lesson today was a great help for sure, Adha Mubarak everybody <3

Courgettes in Yogurt ( Ablama).
Hello everybody.
Very very busy morning,my husband brought a big bag of turnip from the farm (لفت ) so I bought extra beets,cauliflower and eggplants and made two large pots of pickles for Ramadan.
I also made a batch of date rolls for my lovely cousin to take with her to Dubai,these rolls are becoming my traditional gift for people I love ,better than anything you buy <3.
After all this work I cleaned all my kitchen in and out then started to cook,I posted this recipe in the early days of my blog,today is a repeat to remind you of it,I know many people cook it first day of Ramadan cause they say you must cook something white !!
Ingredients and method:
* hulled courgettes.
* cooked minced meat spiced and mixed with roasted pine nuts.
* ewe yogurt or jameed and butter milk.
* starch.
* cook the yogurt after mixing it with equal amount of water and 2 big spoons starch,add salt,pepper and margarine.
* stuff meat after cooling into the courgettes.
* fry courgettes or as I prefer roast in the oven with a bit of oil and keep turning them till golden from all sides.
* dip courgettes in boiling yogurt on low heat for 40-50 minutes.
* serve with rice.
I had some courgettes left so I cut them to rings,added salt,garlic,summaq and a bit of oil then roasted them in the oven and made tahini sauce on the side,really good side dish 🙂
Enjoy .
Tuna Salad.
Hello everybody.
Very hot and dusty weather today,annoying for people with allergies and asthma,hope it’ll rain as the forecast says to reduce heat and dust.
Nobody in the mood to eat something hot so I made this simple salad, still have some steak from yesterday if anybody feels like it. Plus I had another lesson and order of date rolls this morning so no time for cooking
. 
Ingredients and method:
* any kind of small pasta, boiled till done.
* 2 cans tuna.
* sweet peppers.
* green onion.
* cherry or big tomatoes.
* mayonnaise.
* salt ,pepper and lemon juice.
* cook pasta and drain water then add tuna,chopped onions,peppers,mayonnaise,lemon juice,salt and pepper.
* mix all together very well before serving.
That’s it ,simple and easy .
Leftover Makeover :)
Hello everybody.
Last day of this long weekend, woke up ready for work, I have an order of Date Rolls to deliver by noon, big thank you to my best friend who came to help me <3.
As for lunch plans I still have lots of meat and chicken from last night’s BBQ,plus a bit of every kind of salad. A makeover to the meat and kebab will make them even more tender and juicy,I simply added some chopped onions and summaq , bit of water and drizzle of oil, then heat them on very low heat till onions are softened.
I lined the Kebabs and potatoes on a foil paper added some water and heated them in the oven.
It was a miniature lunch comparing to last night’s feast but very tasty 🙂
Green Beans and Avocado Dip.
Hello everybody.
This morning I gave another Date Rolls lesson to a dear friend who couldn’t make it last week, It was a big success, we finished quickly,chatted and had coffee 🙂
I prepared a quick lunch before, no time for a big meal, green beans with olive oil and garlic (فاصوليا بالزيت) and avocado dip, both easy and tasty.
Ingredients and method:
* 1 kilo cleaned cut green beans.
* 3-4 cloves garlic.
* one big ripe chopped tomato.
* olive oil,salt,pepper.
* heat oil then saute garlic.
* add beans,salt and pepper cook till tender.
* add tomatoes and leave to simmer for 30 minutes.
Avocado:
*2 ripe tender avocados.
* 2 big spoons tahini sauce ( tahini,lemon juice,salt and some yogurt)
* chopped tomatoes,mint leaves,paprika for garnish on top.
* peel and mash avocados then mix with tahini sauce.
* chop tomatoes on top,add mint,paprika and oil .
Light tasty colorful lunch,only sin is you eat too much bread without knowing it 🙂
