Ever wondered how the small sfiha baalbakeyi are shaped? Here’s a video of my mom making them. I wanted to make sure it saved to my feed.

Large jar (24oz) Fattoush Dressing

2 cups good Olive oil
2/3cup White distilled Vinegar
4 large Garlic clove crushed
2 Tablespoon Sumac
2 Tablespoon Zaatar
1 Tablespoon Dried mint
1 Tablespoon Sugar

Mix all ingredients in a large jar & store in your fridge. This stores well for about 2 weeks.

African shish kabob marinade:

🔸4 pounds beef shish kabob
🔸3 Tablespoon creamy peanut butter
🔸4 Tablespoons tomato paste
🔸1 cup vegetable oil
🔸Cayenne pepper to your liking
Mix all ingredients in a bowl, except for meat, using an electric hand mixer or in a food processor. Add in your meat and let it sit in marinade in fridge until ready to grill (at least one hour). Skewer on shish kabob sticks & grill using a charcoal grill. Enjoy 😊.

Chicken Shawarma

4 cloves garlic crushed
2 Tablespoon ketchup
2 Tablespoon laban (plain yogurt)
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 Tablespoon paprika
Juice of one small lemon
Salt & black pepper
3 pounds chicken cut into strips

Start by washing your chicken & leaving it in a colander to strain. In a bowl mix all of the ingredients. Add chicken & let sit in marinade in fridge for a few hours. The longer it sits the better. Place in pot & cook on high heat to start. Reduce heat to medium, cover the pot & continue to cook for about 30 minutes.

Pita Bread coating

Mix 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses, 1 tablespoon pepper paste, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon sumac. Brush on bread as your cooking the sandwich.

One of the few things I do in preparation for the month of Ramadan is cut up my pita bread and freeze it.
This saves me time for prepping and less waste because I won’t be throwing away my pita bread that’s about to go bad. When I need the bread I take it directly out of the freezer and cook, either deep fried or baked.
I used my super shears, I love them they get the job done every time!
