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®

From the Weekend magazine, this is an Iftar special. I hope you enjoy it! For the vegetarians, you can use water or vegetable stock as a substitute for the chicken stock. As for the stuffed zucchini, you could use a mixture of minced veggies for the minced lamb meat. -- posted by Charishma Ramchandani

Hajar's Lamby Friday Food Couscous

Mon, 29 Aug 2005 18:27:11 -0400

We in Morocco eat a lot of couscous but never so much as the country does on Friday which is our sort of Sabbath. Never does Friday come without couscous. This is one of my husband's favorites though we have many "FAVORITES!!" There are many wonderful couscous preparation methods here on the site including one with photos as a step by step in the African Forum; by Sackville Girl. Simply serve this over your couscous in a communal platter and enjoy it! NB; It is 2 lamb shanks or 4 large necks. -- posted by Miss Elizabeth

A flavorful ground lamb patty with a spicy sauce. There are many variations on Harissa (some very good ones here on 'Zaar) Use the one included or use your favorite to top the patties. Serve with your favorite couscous recipe. WARNING: Wear latex or vinyl gloves when handling jalapenos, to keep from oils from seeds off your hand.
