Chicken Liver.

Hello everybody, hope you’re enjoying your weekend so far.

Today we stayed guessing what to eat for lunch till 2 p.m,then my hubby volunteered to make us chicken liver, it’s his specialty, I never did it before.

As for me I made potatoes in a different way, saw this recipe yesterday on Pinterest,they were good but as always not all food photos on the net turn out the same shape, don’t know why this always happens !!

Ingredients and method:

Chicken Liver:

* 1/2 kg chicken liver.

* 2 sliced onions.

* chili green pepper.

* olive oil,salt,pepper and pomegranate sauce.

* saute onions and peppers in heated oil,then add livers and stir.

* add salt and pepper then leave to simmer on low heat till dine ( 30-40 minutes)

* when done turn off heat and add one big spoon pomegranate sauce and stir all together.

* Potatoes:

* medium sized potatoes.

* 3-4 garlic cloves.

* olive oil and butter.

* salt and pepper.

* mash garlic and saute in some oil then add salt and pepper.

* slice potatoes thinly but not till the end ( keep it all together from the bottom)

* pour garlic and oil on top then add a cube of butter.

* bake for 45-50 minutes till crispy from outside.

I also made sauteed flat mushrooms with garlic and lemon and french fries for the boys, nice late meal. Thank you dear hubby for the yummy liver,really good and tasty 🙂

Cooked Brown Lentils (حراق اصبعه )

Hello everybody.

We’re ordering food today but thought I’ll do a side dish this is a Syrian appetizer, I always thought it’s hard to make or needs too much ingredients and steps..but then I found this basic recipe in an old book called ABC of cooking ( الف باء الطبخ),, been doing it since then by the book, very easy and nutritious.
Lentils are rich in iron and protein, can be a very good substitute for meat to vegetarians.

Ingredients and method:
* 1 cup brown lentils.
* 2-3 cloves garlic
* 3-4 onions.
* bunch of coriander.
* 1/2 cup lemon juice.
* 2 spoons pomegranate sauce ( دبس رمان ).
* 1 cup small size pasta.
* cubed fried pitta bread.
* salt, pepper, cumin powder.

* wash lentils then boil in 4 cups of water , add salt and 1 spoon cumin.
* add the pasta and leave to simmer till done.
* add lemon juice, pomegranate sauce.
* fry the onions in oil till golden.
* crush garlic and chop coriander then saute them in some oil.
* add half the amount of onions and garlic to lentil pasta mixture. Leave to simmer till it thickens and homogeneous. You might need to add some water.
* upon serving,, in a deep dish put some of the bread in the bottom.
*add the lentil mixture.
* decorate with the rest if garlic, onions and bread cubes.
* serve hot.
