Gundelia عكوب.

Hello everybody.

Finally found some good quality Gundelia or عكوب cause I bought some from a roadside boy last week that were unfortunately not good at all I actually throw them away.

This plant or even bush is usually found this time of the year in the wilderness, well known in the Levant region and cooked in various ways either with meat as stew or with cooked yogurt or as I did them today sauteed with onions and garlic with olive oil,salt and pepper. Really good and very nutritious by the way but problem is that it has so many thorns in them so you have to clean them very well and make sure you remove all thorns usually using scissors.

To compensate the not so romantic meal I made a red healthy romantic juice containing strawberries,pomegranate,kiwi and cranberry juice.

Top story today was different photos of people celebrating Valentine’s day ,too extreme I think 🙂
