"I like to think of this vegetarian dish as Egyptian-style chilli. I was first introduced to it during a trip to Egypt four years ago, where it was nearly all we ate for a week!

"A savory meat pie from Egypt. The recipe calls for ground lamb, most frequently I don't have lamb available so I use ground beef. It is still quite delicious.

"A dear friend of mine gave me this recipe. Her mother made this for their family while she was growing up. Amazing soup with a surprisingly meaty texture and beautiful color. Wow! Even cooler?
