Sanbusa Turnovers

Thu, 28 Mar 2002 18:55:43 -0500

A Ramadan dish popular in Syria, Lebanon and Egypt, sanbusa traveled to India and became samosa. Sweet sanbusa halvah are special favourites at weddings in the Gulf countries. This is a single recipe for dough, and various different fillings, each yielding enough to fill one batch of dough to make 36-48 pastries. I have not made these myself - I found the recipe on the Internet and posted it by request. -- posted by Mille®

Injera (African [ Ethiopian] Flat Bread)

Thu, 15 Jun 2006 23:33:12 -0400

This is a simplified version of Injera. There are many sites where you can find the more traditional way of making it but this is quite close in taste and texture and 300 times easier. Injera is used the same way some cultures use Tortillas, as a scoop and/or wrap for food. Try this with any sort of saucy dish... it's great and oh so simple. -- posted by JanetC-KY
