Omani Chicken Kabuli Rice

Jan 16, 2013 1:45:23 PM

A yummy chicken and rice dish that I modified to my families taste by combining two Omani recipes found online plus my own taste. recipe#492976 & http://therecipegroup.wordpress.com/2012/08/15/omani-chicken-kabuli-rice. Traditionally ginger is added (I blame Indian influence), we don't tend to enjoy ginger in savory dishes so I omitted it. You may add some if you like.

Abu Hadi's Fattet Hummus

Jul 24, 2012 12:00:27 PM

Chickpea Fatteh. "The key to this deceptively simple dish is getting all the elements ready as quickly as possible. Abu Hadi's version of this popular Levantine dish is a little different from the typical Beirut one, reflecting his Damascus upbringing. I have taken some liberties with his recipe, such as heating the cumin and paprika in the butter, and adding olive oil. I'm sure Abu Hadi would forgive me; he likes to experiment with new flavors." Modified from a book I do not endorse for content except for the recipes, called Day of Honey by Annia Ciezadlo.

Rice Crepes With Keshta, Bananas & Mango Syrup

Jun 14, 2012 9:55:25 AM

Yummy sweet gluten free breakfast that is pretty quick to put together once you have the syrup on hand (This recipe makes extra syrup for a couple of delicious times). DH asked if he can have this for breakfast often. I made this up when I was racking my brain for a gluten free, egg free breakfast without our typical rice crackers. Please do use the mango syrup & keshta or don't rate.

This is yummy. DH dictated this recipe to me from memory to have as a quick pretty healthy late night summer snack. It's similar to salads served with rice through out the Middle East.

Iranian Haleem

Jun 5, 2012 7:39:52 AM

Haleem is a thick Persian high calorie dish. It is a special dish prepared during Ramadan in Iran since its good for the stomach. In Iran, Haleem is made of wheat and Turkey. This dish is slow cooked for some hours which results in a paste like consistency.

Maragat Bamia - Okra Stew With Goat

Apr 6, 2012 11:06:02 PM

For Welcome to Bahrain Tag Game! "Versions of this recipe are found throughout the Middle East. My mother's version is especially good and really easy to make. You can use this recipe as a base for making all types of middle eastern stews. The basic technique is to fry the meat in spices (this is an important step that many people skip as it seals the flavor of the spices), fry vegetables and onions in a seperate pan. Add water to the meat and then add the vegetables." " In Bahrain we usually use goat meat but that's difficult to find elseware" From http://6abkhatummi.blogspot.ca

Kuwaiti Daqoos (Tomato, Garlic, Cilantro Sauce)

This is an easy delicious sauce to have with Gulf Arabian dishes, particularly common served with fish or chicken. Basically my SIL's style daqoos.
