If you are looking for a refined dessert with mimi If you are looking for a refined dessert with mimimal effort and few ingredients lemon posset is the answer, a silky chilled and no bake British classic sweet that dates back to the Middle ages. You can keep the cooking method and swap the lemon juice for passion fruit juice, the result is equally good if not better. #lemonposset #passionfruitposset #posset #summerpudding #hadiaslebanesecuisine
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. #hadiaslebanesecuisine #cheeserolls #mezze #friedappetizers #rkakatjibneh For the cheese filling: 400 grams mozzarella 3 tablespoons sunflower oil 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk To make the slurry: 1/3 cup flour 1/3 cup water A package of spring roll wrappers

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 is made traditionally in Ashura, Muharram (the first month in the Islamic calendar), and are prepared and served by volunteers. This act plays a connotative role in remembering the famishment experienced by Imam El Hussain and his family, a feasability for individuals to come together and share their faith and loyalty. Harrisa is made during the 10 days of Ashura. It doesn’t have to be the only option to serve but it has to at least be part of the lineup alongside kaak al Abbas.
