Sable butter cookie bars (mabroushe) ♥️ The be Sable butter cookie bars (mabroushe) ♥️ The best apricot jam that I brought back from Falougha between buttery, flakey dough. It’s DELICIOUS and the texture (I’m a texture person…) is perfect. Recipe link in my @yourlebanon IG stories + link in IG bio, tap this pic! https://yourlebanon.com/recipe/sable/
Show me you love Kafta without telling me you love Show me you love Kafta without telling me you love Kafta 🤣 A few photos from our first summer BBQ that I shared on my IG reels! I had requests for the Kafta recipe. Click the link in my @yourlebanon IG bio and find this photo- I’ve linked it in this post: https://yourlebanon.com/recipe/kafta-and-potatoes/ Shoutout to my mom and aunt Meemo for putting together this BEAUTY. Should I share the set up video 🤩🥰😍
The best thing I’ve seen all week! @fatmee_kitch The best thing I’ve seen all week! @fatmee_kitchen with my favorite ice cream ashta with pistachios! I have yet to find the same outside of Lebanon and the multiple recipes I’ve tried did not come close. So… I’m still looking for a bouzat ashta recipe to remake at home!
Where are my malfouf lovers? A lot more warak aris Where are my malfouf lovers? A lot more warak arish lovers are tapping through my IG stories with the way my poll is looking right now 🤣 We dug into the malfouf (stuffed cabbage) before the warak arish (stuffed grape leaves ) finished, hence the pot half full lol I love, love, love stuffed grape leaves and stuffed cabbage. I make the exact same hashwe filling (below) for both and use about half with each. Sometimes I do half grape leaves and half koussa too. This is our hashwe stuffing for 12 medium koussa OR 1 head of cabbage and approx. 16 oz of grape leaves. If just doing grape leaves this stuffing is good for about 32oz jar : 2 pounds beef 80% 2 cups and 1/4 cup jasmine rice (uncooked, rinsed a few times until the white starch at top stops reappearing, NOT soaked) Salt 1.5 teaspoons 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon 2 tablespoon Tomato paste ALSO on my stories today: some really wonderful Palestinian chefs I wanted to highlight. Make sure to check them out!

So thankful for everything they’ve taught me in the kitchen + beyond. I’ll add the purslane pies recipe to the website soon. We’ve had many requests for it 🥰
