DIY Palm Sunday candle-letters

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. I am in love with this candle, a very simple design yet classy and attractive. A nice ribbon selection and the initial of your kid’s name, et voila a beautiful candle.

The selection of ribbons is very important when you’re decorating the candle. If you made a bad choice it will make it look cheap and poor, but if well chosen, you can only put ribbons without any motif. It’s really tricky!

Follow me step by step to make a similar candle:

Artichoke spinach quiche

Posted on March 10, 2016 | 2 comments

The weather is calling for hearty food. Dunno what is happening but yesterday it was raining in Doha! Although it’s not feeling cold, but the rain and the thunderbolt gives you the feeling of it! I thought of quiche, it serves the purpose without being too heavy and we could eat leftovers for dinner! I already mentioned how i love lunch leftovers (especially those of a delicious dish) that come to rescue the craving at dinner time.

To prepare the crust, click here to get redirected to one of my posts that explains step by step how to do a perfect pâte brisée.

For the filling you need:

250g spinach chopped (fresh cooked or thawed if frozen)
200g artichoke hearts coarsely chopped (fresh cooked or canned)
1 big onion finely diced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup heavy cream
2 eggs
1 cup Parmesan grated
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp lemon zest
Mozzarella cheese for garnish

Cook onion with olive oil until fragrant. Take off heat add spinach and artichoke. In a separate bowl mix cream, eggs, salt, pepper, lemon zest and Parmesan then add all to the spinach artichoke mix.

Pour the filling in the crust (already rolled out in a 9″pan), spread evenly and garnish the top with Mozzarella. Bake on 180°C for 30 minutes or until the filling is set.

Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing it. Serve it warm! The Best about quiches, they can be prepared ahead of time and frozen. They are so versatile, you can fill them with almost everything. Plus they are served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Who doesn’t like quiche anyway?!

Fasoulia mtabbalé secret seasoning – vegan Lebanese butter beans

Posted on March 8, 2016 | 3 comments

Lebanese mezze are so versatile. You can serve them as appetizers, side dish or even main dish. All depending on how and with what. During lent, this vegan butter beans mezze (fasoulia mtabbalé) is served with bread or potato to be a main dish.

For 1kg butter beans, boiled until tender (yields 4 servings) you need for seasoning:

2 lemon juice
1 garlic clove minced
3/4 cup olive oil
salt to taste

Apparently it’s a very easy and quick dish to serve. You boil the beans until tender and you mix with the seasoning ingredients. BUT! there is an astuce to tell you about, that gives the deep flavor and richness. It’s not a secret ingredient but the way you prepare the seasoning!

When you mix lemon, garlic, oil and salt, take from the beans (half cup almost) and mash it to become like a puree and add it to the seasoning. It gives it a thick texture and coat the beans perfectly when mixed. This way you will taste the deep flavor of seasoning in each bite.

One more thing to mention, prepare the fasoulia mtabbalé at least two hours before serving to absorb the seasoning. Serve it at room temperature or cold. Enjoy!
