Wheat, Fruits, and Nuts (Qamhyieh)

Dessert, VegetarianBy barbara massaadJuly 18, 2018

Qamhyieh means “wheaty” and is simply boiled wheat mixed with dried fruits and nuts, sweetened with sugar and scented with orange blossom water. You could say it’s our local take on granola!

Vegetarian Stuffed Grape Leaves (Warra’ Arrish Atee’)

Stuffed Vegetables, VegetarianBy barbara massaadJuly 18, 2018

Grape leaves are by far the best mehsheh ever, in all forms and colors! Meeydeh or kroum, early spring’s tender grapevine leaves, are a delicacy, and are eaten raw with a tabouleh, or stuffed and cooked, as here.

Armenian Lentil Kibbeh (Vospov Kofte)

Grains, Main Dishes, VegetarianBy barbara massaadJuly 18, 2018

Here’s another version of kibbeh, prepared the Armenian way. It’s a kibbeh of bulgur and fragrant herbs with cooked split yellow lentils. Vospov kofte is a Lenten dish and a perfect option for a light and nutritious summer meal.

Turmeric Cake (Sfouf)

Dessert, VegetarianBy barbara massaadJuly 18, 2018

Here is another version of sfouf, sweetened with granulated sugar and colored and spiced with turmeric. It’s a very simple dessert to prepare that just needs mixing by hand.

Garlic Paste (Toum)

Souk and Street Food, VegetarianBy barbara massaadJuly 18, 2018

Toum is a garlic sauce, or, more accurately, a garlic cream. Not very attractive to vampires and the garlic haters out there, but it is an exquisite, smooth, silky garlic cream that fast becomes an addiction.
