Somehow, the options for favorite cuisines seem to be limited to French or Italian. I seriously disagree. Arab cuisine has to be the most varied and delicious one. Maybe I am just biased. This simple mix of haloomi cheese, olives, and a few other Arab pantry staples is a fantastic example of how nutritious and delicious Arab cuisine may be.
The recipe is sufficient to feed one person generously, or to share for a modest portion between two. I would be happy enough to have this with a fresh pita bread, but you can furthermore elevate it by creating a sandwich of it.
Ingredients:
100g haloomi, shaved thinly
1/3 cup green olives, pitted
1/2 green chili, sliced
1 Tbsp zaatar mix
1 Tbsp pomegranate molasses
1 clove garlic, grated
3 Tbsp olive oil
For the sandwich:
Pita bread
Sour lebna
Tomato
Cucumber
Method:
In a small oven=proof rimmed dish, mix all together the shaved haloomi, pitted olives, sliced green chili, zaatar, pomegranate molasses, grated garlic, and olive oil. Airy fry for 8 to 10 minutes until cheese starts to crisp and the whole dish is bubbly.
Meanwhile, separate the two halves of the pita bread. Brush one side with olive oil and bake until crispy and brown. On the unbaked pita half, spread the lebna and add sliced tomato a cucumber.
When the olive cheese mix is ready, spoon half over the lebna. Break the crispy pita half over the filling, then roll the sandwich closed. Consume immediately.
صحة و عافية
