1757. Yogurt Pasta

In all honesty, I got this recipe off social media (again), and made some minor adjustments. In Arab cuisine, we have so many yogurt-based main dishes, so why should pasta be any different?

Best of MCW (1601-1700)

Welcome to the 17th installment of the Best Of series for MCW. Breakfast takes the spotlight in this edition, with almost half the features belonging to this meal category. If you share our mentality that breakfast is even more delicious as dinner, you've got a pretty repertoire of all-day alimentation choices. Although admittedly an omnivore, I do love my homemade almond milk and the pancakes from the resulting pulp. I have never tasted a better almond milk than this one, and innovating a delicious way to use the pulp makes it a waste-free meal.

1755. Zaatar Saj Scrolls

I realize that there might be multiple versions of zaatar bread recipes on this blog, but we love the combination that much so it is absolutely a delight when a new way is discovered to present it. 

1754. Carrot Courgette Julienne

This is a typical European side dish, specific to the Francophone and Germanic regions. It is simply some shredded courgettes and carrots, sauteed until soft, then drenched in cream. 

1753. Burger Tacos

I have really grown a fondness for food trends on social media. Surprisingly, a larger proportion of the "hacks" or trends are successful and delicious. Then there are some repelling ones as well, such as the watermelon and mustard trend, but the ones I have tried have been mostly great. This burger taco is one such fantastic trend. 

1752. Iraqi Grilled Tomato and Rice

Remember when I posted about Iraqi cucumbers and salt? Hardly a revelation, but it is something my father, may Allah bless and have mercy on his soul, used to sometimes snack on in the evening. It is something so simple that one would have to get out of their own head to consider sharing it. Same goes of this "recipe". 

1751. Chicken Salad Sandwiches

We already have great sandwich filling recipes here on MCW that are staples to any gathering or park outings: egg sandwich and tuna sandwich. Now we can gratefully add chicken sandwiches to this already fantastic repertoire and call it a day. 

1750. Turmeric Ginger Shots

I realize that COVID was over three years ago and the fad of ginger shots has all but died, but there are a million and one other reasons to increase your immunity and maintain your health. 

1749. Tofu Chocolate Mousse

This is a fun and new way to present chocolate mousse or pudding, using tofu. It was not my favorite especially compared to the original butter- and egg-laden version, but I thought I'd share anyway in case it tickles anyone's fancy. 

1748. Cheese Olive and Tomato Danish

We have has savory puff pastry confections often enough on MCW, but another one is always welcome. This particular savory danish pastry combines the melodies of cheese, tomato, and olives for a delightful accompaniment to breakfast/brunch/afternoon tea, etc.
