Spiced Rice Pilaf

Posted by Sue L  

This lovely rice dish was exactly what I was looking for to accompany spicy grilled chicken. It was full of flavour and much appreciated by my family. I recommend making this unique dish using the rosewater, as it really adds to the taste.... — Scots Lass/Cairo Sep 30, 2007

Thanks so much for posting this Blast fron the Past, French Tart! I asked for the recipe as a radio show jogged my memory. This pickle was a real hit! Delicious and sweet with loads of sultanas and a "kick" from the Madras curry powder. My... — Scots Lass/Cairo Sep 8, 2007

Algerian Stew for Couscous

Posted by Halalmom  

Thank you Halalmom for such an easy to put together couscous stew recipe. I added a traditional Egyptian spice mix as I haven't come across the Ras El Hanout here. My family prefer chicken with couscous and loved the delicious sauce. I added a... — Scots Lass/Cairo Jun 3, 2007

Baklava

(5 people found this helpful) Posted by evelyn/athens  

This recipe was the first recipe that I searched for. I hadn't even heard of Recipezaar then! I was at that time looking for a really authentic Greek recipe for Baklava, as I had left all my cookbooks in Scotland. Well I found it! It is the... — Scots Lass/Cairo Apr 26, 2007

Internal Detox for Glowing Skin

Posted by KitchenManiac  

I remember being given a similar hot drink to sip when I was only about seven, and had a really bad cold. My husband is forever praising the benefits of honey, and even though I love the odd spoonful of it in a Baklava syrup, I would be more... — Scots Lass/Cairo Mar 1, 2007

Aab-Goosht-E Baadenjaan

Posted by Chef #397624  

this aubergine stew was delicious and easy to make. It's a well balanced dish and is very high in proteins. We enjoy Iranian or Persian food so much, and although not usual, I served this with a plain Basmati rice dish that we make frequently in... — Scots Lass/Cairo Feb 25, 2007

Scottish Shortbread

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Steve_G  

Easy and with that special "short" that you can only find with expensive bought shortbread. I want to say thanks for such a CLEAR step-by-step recipe. Rotating the tins is an important part of the recipe as it ensures uniform colour. I like... — Scots Lass/Cairo Dec 25, 2006

Scottish Shortbread

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by C & D's Mommy  

Glad to have found this delicious crumbly shortbresd. I am sure that my Gran used to make the same recipe, the only difference being that she kneaded the dough for a few minutes on a flat surface. Making Scottish Shortbread is an art, and this... — Scots Lass/Cairo Dec 25, 2006

Moroccan Chicken With Eggplants

Posted by Halalmom  

I really liked this dish. I think what makes the difference is the fact that the aubergines are roasted. I used "Greek" aubergines, the round fat ones, and cooked them until the skin charred. The unique blend of cinnamon and ginger gave this... — Scots Lass/Cairo Dec 23, 2006

Pastitsio

Posted by Barbara Heller  

This is one of my favourite pastitsio recipes. I have a very similar one by Anne Theoharous, which is so lengthy in preparation. Everyone always asks me for this recipe. We omit the red wine and substitute it with a cup of hibiscus tea. Works... — Scots Lass/Cairo Dec 23, 2006

Very Tasty Chickpea Salad

Iranian Chicken With Rice (Morgh Polou)

(5 people found this helpful) Posted by Bergy  

Wow Bergy!! This dish got wows from my family! I didn't remove the chicken skins and this prevented the chicken from getting too dry. Again Basmati rice is really the ONLY rice worth using in Iranian recipes for its special aroma. All Iranians... — Scots Lass/Cairo Dec 11, 2006

Turkish Coffee....kah'wah

Posted by chef FIFI  

In our home we refer to this type of coffee as Greek. Your recipe Fifi, seems to be more effective in obtaining the "Wish" or face of foam on the top of the poured coffee. I believe it may be because you boil the water first. I use a Kanaka... — Scots Lass/Cairo Nov 30, 2006
