Seeing the success I have had in previous kofta dishes (Kofta Flowers , Lamb Koftas with Mint Yogurt Dressing , Lamb Kofta with Tahini and Pom Chili Jam ) this is one of the simpler of the lot.

661. Lebanese Fruit Cocktail


This rich and decadent Lebanese fruit cocktail drink is more of a dessert or meal substitute to tell you the truth.
As delicious as it may be, it does have a combination of components that make it suitable for an occasional treat, and it is really filling.

658. Pomegranate Quail


I don't really like quail; awful, I know. When we do have quail at home, I feel bad eating it because all I eat are the legs and thighs, so why kill a whole bird if I won't eat it all?
This recipe however, made me happily eat the entire quail, and then another!

656. Parmesan Filo Crisps


Salty Parmesan and herbs encased in a paper-thin crisp pastry dunked in honeyed luscious thick yogurt does sound strange indeed, but it is a combination you would have to try to believe it works.

655. Frozen Banana Peanut Butter Bites


These chocolate-covered frozen banana-peanut bites can almost be pulled of as healthy.
Dark chocolate? Superfood.
Bananas? Potassium bank.
Peanut butter and coconut oil? Healthy fats and filling.

654. Chicken Coconut Korma


I am very intrigued by the depth of flavor coconut milk lends to a dish.
I first tried it in the chickpea vegan curry and I absolutely loved it.
