Should you feel that the extravagant food feast you did during the end of Ramadan fell short, perhaps because you did not get to feel it entirely, then you’re in for a treat. In this edition of Ridesharing Forum’s post, you’ll get to know the tastiest recipes to make, Arabian-style, selected by Careem Quik. Let’s get started!
Savory baked falafel cake with onions and Sumac stuffing
Falafels are delicious, but what if you make them into a cake? This gorgeous recipe will make you crave more!
The ingredients are:
- 1 cup soaked, peeled fava beans
- 4 cups soaked chickpeas
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 cup coriander leaves
- 1 cup parsley leaves
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1.5 teaspoons allspice
- Pinch of black pepper
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
For the stuffing: 3 onions minced, 2 tablespoons sumac (you may use more or less according to your taste and preference), and 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
The ingredients may be quite a mouthful, but this recipe is quite easy to make. First, prepare the onion stuffing using your minced onions, sumac, and olive oil. An option, have them sautée. Then, mix the fava beans, chickpeas, herbs, garlic, onions, and spices into a smooth paste. If needed, taste and store. Don’t forget to add leavening before baking. Lastly, layer mixture with stuffing in a mold, bake until golden, cool, slice, and serve with sides. And, yum, yum, yum!
Kofta bil warak enab (Meat patties wrapped in grapevine leaves)
This will make you forget about your McDonald’s burger. Kofta bil wara is a traditional Palestinian delicacy that hails from the Israeli capital. The use of grape leaves leaves a surprise more than what meets the eye.
The ingredients are:
- 500 g beef
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 tomato chopped
- 1 cup chopped parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- Pinch of cardamom (optional)
- Grape vine leaves
Directions:
First and foremost, set aside the potatoes and tomatoes for layering. Then, create the kofta by grinding or mixing meat with parsley, onions, spices, and forming patties. This must be followed by rinsing the vine leaves and removing the stems. Then, wrap the patties in leaves, layer with potatoes and tomatoes, add lemon, oil, and water, then bake covered and uncovered until cooked. Serve with sides. Again, yum, yum, yum!
Lebanese smoothie with avocado
Top it all off with this tasty, tasty Lebanese smoothie with avocado. Ridesharing Forum means, will you resist avocado!
The ingredients are:
- ½ to 1/4 ripe avocado
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- ½ ripe banana or ½ cup mango chunks
- 2 tablespoons raw honey (raw has the best honey flavor and most nutrients)
- 1 cup milk of choice
- ½ teaspoon rose water (found at Middle Eastern markets)
- ½ teaspoon orange blossom water
- Ashta (clotted cream), pistachios, almonds, honey, and honeycomb for topping
Directions:
Begin washing the ingredients, optionally with vinegar to really keep that freshness. Then, inside your blender, blend the avocado, banana, strawberries, mango, honey, milk, rose water, and orange blossom water until smooth. Use the milk to balance out the thickness.
Pour into a glass and add toppings like nuts, honeycomb, or clotted cream. Lastly, customize with fresh or frozen fruit, layering, or dairy-free substitutes. Yum, yum, yum!
