Salads

Fried cauliflower

I like either Fillet Mignon kebobs or Salmon with the wonderful Persian Rice, a cooked tomato, and the yogurt dressing on a salad. There are difference Middle Eastern versions of it but I like the Persian food the best. Hummus with Pita Bread is good as well.

i'm ashamed to admit that's felafel. I purely could have one each so generally. Felafels have been very general right here in California in the 70s, then they style of went away, yet now they're making a comeback. I additionally love something with lamb. I in no way enjoyed lamb until I tasted it at a Turkish eating place. And now i think of all Muslim cultures seem to nicely known purely the thank you to do lamb. Persian kebabs are stunning. I additionally love schwarama, made with the two lamb or poultry. and that i like babaganoush too, if that's good (some places we bypass have super babaganoush, some no longer lots).

I love well-made falafel and anything with lamb but I really adore the cakes and pastries. I try my hand at making them every once and a while. My favorite (to eat and to make) is kenafeh with any semolina cake coming in a close second. My Italian grandmother used to make almond semolina cakes using the very old recipe she kept in her head:-) There seem to be a hundred different recipes (and western spellings) for Kenafeh but I've only made 2 of them. No one seems to pay much attention to Middle Eastern desserts and they are wonderful!

There's a place in "Bispo"--yes, as in,
