Sticky Mandarin Loaves

I’m busy with preparations for Eid Al-Adha, searching for recipes and baking. These loaves are not for Eid, I made them to try my new mini pans. I’m in love with these mini pans, they are so cute!

The idea of Shesh Barak is similar to Kibbeh Labniyeh. In Shesh Barak, Mini Sambousek is prepared and cooked in yogurt sauce.

Fasouliyeh Bi-Zeit Az-Zeitoun
November 7th, 2009
In Syria, we cook green beans in two ways:
1. Fasouliyeh Bez-Zeit: green beans cooked with olive oil, crushed garlic and ground coriander seeds, (Some people make Fasoulia Bez-Zeit in different way, they add to it tomato chunks and onion).
2. Fasouliyeh Bel-Bandourah: green beans cooked with meat, onion and tomato sauce.
Fasouliyeh is the Arabic word for green beans, Zeit is the Arabic word for oil.

Jam Rolls

These rolls are perfect for breakfast with a cup of tea. The filling is Nutella in the original recipe, but I used Apricot jam and Strawberry jam. Next time, I’ll use the same dough and make Cheese rolls and Za’tar rolls.
