1875. Mushallal Cheese Sandwich

I have a soft spot for forgotten traditional Arabian fast food. We have such a negative connotation with the term fast food because the west completely mutilated it with their harmful versions. However, the traditional Arab fast foods are so wholesome and actually healthy and beneficial for the body. 

1874. Red Cabbage Pickle

A crunchy, tangy, and irresistible side to your meals, this is a simple, foolproof way to enjoy pickled vegetables.

1873. Cheeseburger Springrolls

This is a fun new way to have a side of fried goods on the dining table that everyone will love. The spring roll is stuffed with classic cheeseburger flavors: minced meat, onion, pickles, and cheese. 

1872. Mango Chia Pots

These mango chia pots taste like icecream, making them always a treat for breakfast, dessert, or even a snack. 

1871. Crispy Akawi Zaatar Pitas

For some reason, sambusak is an integral part of our Ramadan iftar table. These crispy akawi zaatar pita quarters completely replaced them this last Ramadan. 

1870. Arabian Courgette Casserole

This courgette casserole is a total mish mash of the best element from yogurt stuffed courgettes and lasagne.

1869. Sweet Chilli Wings {Airfryer}

These sticky-sweet-savory-spicy chicken wings are cooked in the airfryer until crispy then tossed in an irresistible sticky sauce with burst of tang and a hint of sweetness.

1868. Candied Walnut Salad

We had this salad on repeat during Ramadan; it was that good. The candied walnuts with the sharpness of the onion combined with the earthiness of the beetroot on a bed of mixed lettuce or peppery rocket leaves could not be beat. 

1867. Nectarine Preserves

When I see a jam or preserves recipe that has added pectin, I think that they didn't add this hundreds of years ago, so why should we now? The reality is, fruit naturally contains pectin, the component that helps a jam to gel up. Different fruit have different concentration, and hence need various simmering times. 

1866. Fava Mince Meat Rice

This is a comforting way in Arabian cuisine to present "fast food": a rice dish featuring some kind of vegetable (fava in this case, but peas, carrot, and pulses are also  common), a protein (minced meat in this case, but shredded chicken or shrimp also work), and a chockful of fried nuts (cashews here, but think: almonds, pinenuts, etc).
