What is shawarma? Shawarma is almost like a gyro but at the same time it isn’t. It is Arabic in origin but it took off like gangbusters and now everyone is wanting it and it is liked everywhere even in Nigeria, USA and Pakistan. Yes It is street food now in Peshawar, Pakistan even. I … Continue reading Shawarma
I very much love molokhia. This is one of my favorite dishes of all time. I posted about ewedu before if you remember. I have made molokhia many times and never blogged about it until today. I was being just lazy I guess. I learned how to make this dish from a Moroccan friend of … Continue reading Molokhia The Best Way
Normaly I would have baked this but It is so hot I ended up using a tawa (griddle) instead. If baking preheat the oven to 400 degrees fahenheit or 204 celsius. I ground 1 pinch of fenugreek seeds in a mortar and pestle. In a large mixing bowl I added 2 cups of all purpose … Continue reading Aish Mehrahrah (Cornbread With Fenugreek Seeds)
As I stated in the last post, here I am. First you can not make this yummy dish without these two My Ras El Hanout and Preserved Lemons. This would not be a proper dish from any North African country without it. After you make these up then you are home free from here. The … Continue reading Chicken Tagine

Bamia means okra in Arabic. This dish actually is from Egypt. I very much enjoyed it over rice. This recipe has no onions or garlic in it. Actually the Prophet Muhammad Sallah Allah Wali Wasalam (Peace Be Upon Him) hated onions and garlic. He did not like the taste or the smell. Also there is … Continue reading Bamia
When Mr. Riaz tasted this last night, he wanted to know where I got this recipe from. I said I made it up myself and rightfully so. Without further adiu, here it is. I had added 1/4 cup of olive oil in my pot and turned it on to high heat. I added 1 onion … Continue reading Chicken Livers With Sauce
I wanted to do my own recipe on eggplant with pomegranate molasses and here is my take on it. I hope you like it. You can use either 1 big eggplant, 2 baby eggplants or 6 small Indian eggplants for this dish. I used the Indian eggplants. I added 1/4 cup of olive oil to … Continue reading Eggplants With Pomegranate Molasses
This is one of my favorite salads of all times. Also it is very healthy and it is easy to make. This is the Lebanese version. The Turkish has theirs too but it is a little different.
