What did you cook last week?

[EmmAlesh]

I was thinking maybe we could do like a menu swap for a for weeks...maybe this way we can get ideas about new recipes to spice things up a bit for our normal routines:)  Well, I have a normal routine...lol

I made mlukheyeh, bamyeh w riz, sojouk (american style), and sayyeddeyeh.  Those were my big meals.  Dinner is usually leftovers or what I heat from the freezer.

What about you guys?

Curry empanadas...interesting.  I made bamya as well, but I ended up having to toss it.  I have NO idea what happened. 

[practicingislam]

asalamu alaikum sis i have a bamya recipe here on the board ITS AWESOME AND SO TASTY MASH'ALLAH

for the curry beef empanadas,

You cook the ground beef and at same time peel and cube a large potato and boil the potato

while ground beef is cooking add sliced onions to it and cook in one pan and the potatoes in another

when beef is almsot done add maybe a 1/2 tspn or more depending on how many empanadas you make , salt and pepper   and stir

when potatoes are soft drain the water and add potatoes to the beef mixing it in DONT MASH POTATO IT THOUGH

then put the filing in the middle of the empanada shell and fry on both sides til brown

IM TELLING YOU MY FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS LOVE IT!!!!!!!MASH'ALLAH
