CARDAMOM-FLAVORED FRUIT SALAD (SALATAT AL-FAWAAKIH)



Cardamom-Flavored Fruit Salad (Salatat Al-Fawaakih) image

From: "Classic Vegetarian Cooking from the Middle East & North Africa"-Arabian Gulf. This is the BEST fruit salad my husband or I have ever tried! It's easy, healthy, refreshing and WONDERFUL. You have to like cardamom to really appreciate it though. You may find yourself doubling the sauce in the future because you want to drink it up. I don't repeat very many recipes because there are too many new ones to try but this one is repeated over and over during cantaloupe season. I'm sure it would work with other fruits as well but I like this combo so much I haven't experimented.

ARABIAN GULF SHORTBREAD COOKIES (GHIRAYBAH)



Arabian Gulf Shortbread Cookies (Ghiraybah) image

Very nice little Middle Eastern shortbread cookies. I like to give these as gifts or make them for tea time. I also make them often for my FIL's diwaniya (men's gathering) to enjoy with their Arabic coffee or tea. Recipe from The Complete Middle East Cookbook by Tess Mallos.

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 35-40 cookies, 35-40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup clarified butter (samneh, I have always used just sweet butter without clarifying)
1 cup icing sugar, sifted
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
blanched slivered almond, to garnish (loz)
additional icing sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • First of all, sifting is an important part which must not be left out or the cookies will not turn out the right texture so be sure you have a sieve.
  • If need be, chill samneh or butter in refrigerator if too soft. (It should be somewhat soft just not very soft)
  • Put samneh in mixing bowl and beat until light. Gradually add sifted icing sugar, beating until very creamy and light.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Sift flour and fold into butter mixture. Knead lightly until smooth. (Don't overdo it) If kitchen is hot, chill dough in refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
  • Roll pieces of dough into balls the size of a walnut and place on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten slightly. Flour hand lightly if necessary. Top half or all with a slivered almond. (I like to do half with the nuts and half with the dusting of icing sugar after cooled).
  • Bake in the preheated moderately slow oven for 20-25 minutes until very lightly coloured. Cool on baking sheets. Dust the other half without the almond slivers with icing sugar. (Makes for a pretty presentation of the mixed biscuits on a platter) then remove. These are very delicate biscuits and must be handled carefully.
  • Enjoy!

YOGURT SALAD (JAJEEK)



Yogurt Salad (Jajeek) image

This is a staple in our home. A simple salad that is made throughout the Middle East, Arabian influenced African countries such as Sudan were it is called Salatet Zabady bil Ajur & the Mediterranean.

1 tablespoon mint, finely chopped (optional, but I do like to add it depending what it is served with) or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried mint, crushed (optional, but I do like to add it depending what it is served with)

Steps:

RICE WITH ONION (MASHKOUL)



Rice With Onion (Mashkoul) image

A good and simple flavoured Gulf Arabian rice dish which is standard accompaniment to most Gulf meals. Good with Recipe #372093 or Recipe #418079 among others. This dish may be made into yellow rice by adding 3/4 tsp turmeric for colour and is also very good with a chicken stock cube added to the water for more flavour. I recently made this with homemade stock and added some pine nuts to the onions near the end of cooking time until they were golden, it was really tasty. Modified from, The Complete Middle East Cookbook by Tess Mallos.
