One of the favorite appetizers to order at a Leban One of the favorite appetizers to order at a Lebanese or Middle Eastern restaurant are these fried cheese rolls, luckily, they can easily be made at home; it’s hard to eat just one; they are super decadent with a stretchy oozy filling and a thin and crispy wrapper. For the  best results, fry these, but if you are a health-consious person, you can cook these in your air fryer. The result will not be nearly as crispy, but they will still taste good.

Beet and Arugula Salad
Sliced beets, pecans, raisins,  sliced onions and baby arugula leaves drizzled with a honey balsamic vinaigrette – all the earthy goodness comes together in this lovely colorful salad! The success of any salad lies in fresh ingredients and a right dressing.  And the dressing in this salad is the bomb! A reduction of balsamic vinegar, honey and extra virgin olive oil seasoned with salt and freshly grated black pepper –  sweet and tangy dressing that is insanely delicious. The honey is a great addition to the vinaigrette as it adds sweetness and balances the tartness of the vinegar, plus it helps the dressing remain emulsified.

This is a keeper salad, especially the dressing that will make you feel like a you're eating at a French bistro, learn it and keep it in your repertoire, it elevates any salad to the next level.

Hareesa, and sometimes pronounced hrisa, is a wheat berry porridge, cooked with chicken or meatmade specifacally in Lebanon during Ashura, Muharam. The pot is cooked slow and low for hours (lots of stirring is required), ending up with a creamy texture, but with enough slight chewy bite to keep it gripping. Hareesa, could be arguably the best thing you would ever taste, believe me, you are in for a treat. I grew up eating hareesa, and after I had a kitchen for myself, I worked hard 33 years ago to perfect it and by time I gained a reputation for being a great hareesa maker, follow the recipe to a T and success is yours, it’s a project and laborious to make, but so worth it, watch the video below.

Ingredients
 
1 Kg Wheat berries, the wheat used to make harrisa is dehulled (the tough hulls removed)
2 whole chickens 1.5 kg/ 3 lb 5 oz each
1 cup ghee
Salt to taste
For the chicken broth
1 onion
3 bay leaves
4 cardamom pods
4 whole cloves
Hareesa, Harissa, Wheat and Chicken Porridge
