Back all those years ago when I first posted about kubba (my absolute kryptonite), that legend speaks of a thousand and one kubba varieties. Here we are at the twenty-eighth kubba on MCW.
Our Arab Christian population is significant, and food is a prominent indicator of culture. The Christians have a lent season, where their mandatory fast consists of purely vegan food only. This made them get innovative with recreating vegan versions of their favorite foods. The word "monk" features quite a bit in these lent-induced dishes.
Ingredients:
2 cups fine bulgur
1.5 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin
4 Tbsp flour
For the sauce:
2 Tbsp grated garlic
2 lemon, juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup chopped walnuts
5 roasted red pepper, paste
Method:
To make the sauce, mix together all the sauce ingredients.
In a bowl, add the fine burghul and pour just enough recently boiled water to just cover. Let the water absorb then add the salt, cumin, and flour. You can knead until a dough is formed, but it is much easier to mince in the mincer if you have one. Form small balls the size of quali eggs, then boil in a pot of water until the float. Strain from the boiling liquid and add tot he sauce and mix until covered. Serve with lettuce leaves.
صحة و عافية
