Ingredients:

1/4 cup olive oil
1kg diced lamb meat
2 teaspoons paprika
3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander

The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try   Squash kibbeh balls recipe.  Enjoy the good taste of Arabic Food and learn how to make Squash kibbeh balls.

It is more fun to eat when they are hot and the cheese is oozing out!

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound of kabocha squash (any squash will do, just make sure it is thoroughly drained)
4 ounces of extra-fine bulgur #1, soaked in water for 5 minutes and drained thoroughly (squeeze out the water)
small white onions, sprinkled with salt and sumac
1/4 cup of minced herbs (parsley, other)
Spices: 1/2 tsp. white pepper, 1/2 tsp. allspice, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. cumin, 1 tsp. hot Aleppo pepper
1/2 cup of fine semolina flour
1/4 cup of unbleached all-purpose flour

Filling:

8 ounces of goat cheese
2 large eggs
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup of walnuts
1/4 cup of whipping cream
1 teaspoon of mashed garlic (with salt in a mortar)
Spices: 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of white pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of seven-spice, 1/2 teaspoon of thyme or wild zaatar, 1/2 teaspoon of Aleppo pepper
1/4 cup of minced parsley
1/4 cup of minced dill (or other herb)
Lemons, quartered
Oil, to fry the kibbeh in

To make it easier: shape the cheese mixture into teaspoon-sized balls and freeze for 15 minutes before starting.

METHOD:

Make the kibbeh shell and refrigerate: place the drained squash, chopped onion, herbs and spices, bulgur, flour and semolina in the bowl of a food processor. Process into a homogenous paste. Transfer to a bowl and into the fridge, covered.
 

Make the cheese filling by combining all the ingredients. Shape into little teaspoon-sized balls and place on a piece of foil into the freezer for 15 minutes to make using them easier.
 

Take balls of dough (can use a cookie dough scooper) and fill with the cheese. Place in the fridge until ready to fry.
 

Heat several cups of oil to 375F and fry the balls of kibbeh, a few at a time. Serve warm with extra lemons.

Falafel with Garlicky Tahini Sauce Recipe

The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try   Falafel with Garlicky Tahini Sauce Recipe.  Enjoy the good taste of Arabic Food and learn how to make Falafel with Garlicky Tahini Sauce. 

Ingredients (Serves 3-4)

For the tahini sauce:

225 grams tahini (seasame seed paste)
113 grams canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 lemon, juiced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

For the falafel:

113 grams canned chickpeas, drained
3/4 pound ounces ground lamb
3 tablespoons green onions, white and light-green parts only, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
113 grams finely chopped fresh cilantro (coriander)
56.7 grams finely chopped parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Large pinch cayenne
113 grams olive oil

Method

To make the sauce, combine ingredients in a food processor. As you purée, add 113 grams to the 170 grams of water through feed tube until mixture is smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Sauce should be thinner than hummus. Tahini is a Middle Eastern sesame seed paste you can find in most grocery stores.

For the balls, in a large ball, mash 113 grams chickpeas with a potato masher or fork. Add remaining ingredients and mix well with your hands or a wooden spoon. Form into 1 1/4 centimeter balls.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook balls in batches, turning occasionally until golden-brown all over and just cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Drizzle with sauce and serve immediately.

Cuisine: Oriental
Category: Levant
Serves: 12 persons
Difficulty: Medium
Cost: Cheap

Preparation time :     20 minutes
Cooking time :     25 minutes

Ingredients

for the dough:

2 cups butter or 400 g, softened

5 cups plain flour or 700 g

1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated

1½ cups icing sugar or 200 g

4 egg yolks

for the filling:

1½ cups date paste or 300 g

1 tin NESTLÉ® Cream or 170 g

2½ cups ground almonds or 250 g


Preparation

Mix the soft butter with the flour using your hands until the mixture is homogenous.

Make a hole in the middle of the dry mixture. Add lemon zest, icing sugar and egg yolks. Use your fingertips to mix the ingredients together.

Mix the dough well until it can be formed into ball then knead it lightly pressing with hands until it is smooth. Divide into 2 equals balls, cover and chill for at least ½ hour or until almost firm.

Meanwhile, combine in a bowl the date paste, NESTLÉ® Cream and ground almond and mix well until well combined.

Generously sprinkle flour over the first dough and place it between two sheets of greaseproof paper. Gently roll it between the papers to get 3mm thick dough. Repeat the same process for the second dough.

Place the first one over a large tray keeping greaseproof paper below and removing the upper one. Spread and press the date mixture evenly all over the rolled dough.

Turn the second rolled dough over the date paste mixture by removing the upper paper and keeping the below one to ease turning the dough over the date paste mixture. Press gently and place in the freezer for few hours until it freezes.

Slice out bite shapes using a sharp knife, place cookies 1cm apart on greased large baking tray. Keep aside to defrost and bake in a 200˚C preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until top becomes light brown.

Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Roasted Red Pepper and Walnut Dip (Muhammara) Recipe

Photo: Muhammara

The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try Roasted Red Pepper and Walnut Dip (Muhammara)i Recipe.  Enjoy the good taste of Arabic Food and learn how to make Roasted Red Pepper and Walnut Dip (Muhammara).

Muhammara hails from the Middle East…Syria to be exact. It’s got an intriguing name, and it’s flavor is intriguing, as well.

To make it, you start by roasting three red bell peppers – I do this over the gas burners of my stove- or, feel free to use an 8 ounce jar of roasted peppers. 



Once you’ve rinsed, peeled, cored, and seeded the peppers, all you have to do is blend them up with a few more ingredients: toasted walnuts, fresh garlic, and pomegranate molasses among them. Muhammara usually includes bread crumbs, as well, but in the interest of keeping this dip gluten-free, I left them out. If you want to use about 2/3 cup (regular or homemade gluten-free) breadcrumbs, go right ahead: just be aware that the color of the dip will not be as vibrant if you do, and you’ll probably have to add more oil or water (about 1/4 cup) to thin out your Muhammara while blending.

If you don’t have pomegranate molasses, you can substitute maple syrup or honey, but I’d add a bit more lemon juice to compensate for the subtle tartness that the pomegranate molasses provides. Muhammara is often made and garnished with fresh mint leaves, but I’ve used cilantro here: use whichever you like, or leave them out.



Ingredients:

*3 roasted red bell peppers
*1/2 cup walnuts, toasted in a 300 degree F. oven for 10-12 minutes
*1/4 small red onion, or more to taste
*3 cloves of garlic, peeled
*1 teaspoon ground cumin
*1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper (or use 1/2-1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes); note that I've seen recipes that call for a whole jalapeño pepper instead...try this if you want the dip to be spicy
*1 tablespoon toasted walnut oil (or olive oil)
*2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
*1 1/2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
*1/2 teaspoon sea salt
*handful of fresh cilantro, plus a few more coarsely chopped leaves for garnish


Directions:

1. Combine everything but the cilantro leaves you'll use as a garnish in a blender or food processor. Blend/process until the dip is smooth but still has some texture.

2. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the coarsely chopped cilantro leaves. Serve with vegetable crudités and/or crackers, pita bread, or baguette slices.

Adapted from Good Food to Share (Williams-Sonoma): Recipes for Entertaining with Family & Friends and Closet Cooking.

You can spread this dip onto baguette or warm pita slices. Or, for a low cal/carb, gluten-free option, spoon it onto California endive leaves*, or use vegetables, such as raw carrots and/or celery, as “dippers”. Another great option is to serve it with your favorite gluten-free crackers.
