1715. Easy Un-Stuffed Cousa Yogurt Stew

The classic recipe is cored and stuffed courgettes, cooked in a yogurt soup base and served as a stew with rice. I love this de-constructed version so much more; for some reason it just tastes so much better. 

1714. Vegan Thai Green Curry

Packed in vegetables, the main ingredient of this curry comes from a jar. Thai curry paste is a ponded mixture of chilis, lemongrass, keffir lime leaves, basil, ginger, garlic, and a whole lot of multiple other ingredients depending on the kind of curry. Conveniently, we can get it already made in a jar from the supermarket.

1713. Chicken Donuts

Basically, homemade chicken nuggets shaped as a donut. Made using 100% chicken breasts, you will not find it made from a discarded chicken carcass as you would in industrially manufactured chicken nuggets.

1711. Ranch Dip

The only time I would ever have ranch as a salad dressing, a dip, smeared in a sandwich, or drizzled over a pizza would be when dining out or ordering in. And you know what? I liked it. So it was high time to make it at home. 

1710. Cream Cheese Scrambled Eggs

I picked up this recipe ages ago and have been intending to share it since a very long time. Scrambled eggs hold a special place I think to most people. It is usually one of the first things one learns to cook. 

1709. A Simple Palestinian Spread

I got my hands on some delicious Palestinian olives, and decided to make an afternoon of it, with a twist. 

1708. Raisin Water

What a game changer this is! Here we are again with another Islamic health recommendation stemming from the Holy Qura'an and the Sunna: raisin water. The top million hits on google completely leave out that this is an Islamic remedy, but that's to be expected in any case. 

1707. Dates in Olive Oil

There is a surah in the holy Qura'an that is titled "Figs and Olives", and is the inspiration for many a health remedy. For those who don't know, we have an entire school dedicated to natural remedies and health recommendations derived from the Qura'an and the Sunna. Just search "Medicine of the Prophet" and you will find no shortage of books.

Best of MCW 1501-1600

Welcome to the 16th installment of the Best Of series for MCW. The Arab influence is strong in this edition, from the seemingly mundane date dipped in fresh cream, boiled potato salad, and the cosy cup of milk tea, to the elaborate zaatar mutabbag, and zubaidi mutabbag.
