Debuting a new series at MCW, dubbed Best Of, I will be selecting the best of the best recipes from every 100 posts which I find myself making over and over, or have specific requests to remake. This series kicks off with favorites from the first 100 posts, almost a decade ago, so understandably the pictures may not be the best the the recipes hold true.
The first recipe is the most impressive of all:
Whole Roasted Lamb (Qoozi), fit for a wedding. It's just like roasting a chicken, but it's a lamb.
A carnivorous Iraqi stew:
Habeet, cannot be missed from the Best Of list.
This is really a recipe for the bbq sauce, which works great on grilled chicken. To cut corners at no expense of taste, I find partially baking the chicken then finishing off the cooking on the grill makes for a perfectly cooked
BBQ Chicken.
A savoury
Meat Baklava baked to a crisp and drizzled in tangy pomegranate molasses is constantly on demand.
Arayes is one of those foods that are great snack and one can have them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Hearts have been won over through this
Chicken Piccatta. Tenderized chicken breast in an amazing tangy and deep sauce.
Timeless
chicken pie is always welcome regardless of the season.
I have known this
kubba labania soup ever since my childhood. It is very well known throughout the Arab world, and little variations exist from Turkey, to Syria, to Iraq, to the Arabian Gulf countries.
Couscous and Grilled Summer Vegetables Salad was made again just last week.
This
Aubergine Lasagne a novel way to rediscover lasagna, simple, vegetarian, and absolutely delicious.
Ratatouille is a one-pot wonder stemming from the southern region of France where the main ingredients are local, plentiful and cheap.
Make these
mini pizzas for a pot luck or an afternoon tea for an immediate hit.
Cheese snails perfect to bake and freeze for an almost instant breakfast on the go.
Toum is the Middle Eastern equivalent to ketchup: it goes with everything and can even be a dip on its own.
Lentil soup: countless remakes for both curing a cold and for simple deliciousness.
Lemon Iced Tea: combining the best of iced tea and lemonade.
