Hiya! Today we will discuss about Arabic Savory Pastries Recipe

Ingredients

Spinach Filling:

  • 1 small Onion (Red would be great, but yellow is fine)
  • lemon juice of 1 medium lemon
  • 300gms of Spinach
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • Optional but recommended:
  • 1 tbsp of Sumac spice

Dough:

  • 5 tbsp Dried Milk
  • 4 tbsp Yogurt

  • 1/2 tbsp Yeast
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • Pinch of Salt
  • Warm water, about half cup

    Directions

    Combine dry ingredient together. Now make a hole, and start adding wet ingredient slowly. Knead at least 15 mins and set the dough aside for couple of hours in a warm setting. Pre-heat the oven at 400 F. Use non stick baking sheets, or use an oil spray, or just grease the sheet it with vegetable oil lightly. Now start making small pastries and put them on baking sheet and let it rest. Now prepare the filing, cut the spinach coarsely and dice the onion in very small pieces. Now add oil, spices, and lemon to the filling. Before you start adding filling squeeze it well and then put it in the center of the dough. Make a triangle shape by pulling the two upper sides and then grab the bottom over. Put in the oven on medium rack or even the bottom but keep an eye on them. Broil them for 3 mins to have a nice brown color. Serve them hot or cold.

mississippi mud pie

Mississippi mud pie

Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. In a food processor, whizz the biscuits to a fine crumb. Pour in the melted butter and pulse briefly to mix well. Spoon into a 24cm pie dish and press into the base and up the sides. Bake in the oven for 10 mins to firm up. To make the brownie layer, melt the butter and chocolate together in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water (making sure that the bottom doesn’t touch the water), or in short bursts in the microwave. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until pale, fluffy and doubled in size, then add the sugar and whisk until thickened. Fold in the chocolate mixture, then sieve in the flour and fold in. Pour into the baked biscuit case and return to the oven for 15–20 mins until the brownie has a crust on top. Set aside and leave to cool (if the brownie has risen a lot, it should sink down slightly as it cools). Once the brownie base is cooled, put the custard, chocolate and vanilla in a pan and cook over a medium heat, stirring, until the chocolate has melted into the custard. Remove from the heat. Soak the gelatine in a little cold water and, once softened, remove from the water and squeeze to remove any excess. Stir into the warm custard mixture until dissolved. Let the custard cool slightly, then pour over the brownie layer. Put in the fridge for a few hrs, or overnight, until set. Remove the mud pie from the fridge about 30 mins before serving so that it can come to room temperature for easy slicing. Just before serving, whip the cream to soft peaks and spoon it over the custard layer, then grate over some dark chocolate.
