We cooked food from Syria yesterday and Miriam was excited for it given her Arabic background. We cooked the following:
- Mukloubi bi lahmi – upside-down lamb rice cake. It’s not really a cake but the idea was to flip it upside down after cooking it. We did not dare to do the flip but it ended up great. 9/10. Recipe here.
- Muhammara – red pepper dip. Not a fan of dips in general coz I’m not used to them but Miriam’s family loved it. 6/10. Recipe here.
- Halawet El-Jibn – sweet cheese rolls. It was difficult to fill it with cheese and make it stay in shape. It tasted great nonetheless. 9/10. Recipe here.
