Borek Algerian
Borek is usually served in Algeria along side a soup (Chorba) during Ramadan. Borek has a crisp pastry on the outside and is oozing with cheese and meat inside, absolutely delicious.
Algerian Chicken Stew
This recipe is from “Extending the Table” and is meant to be eaten with couscous. If you prefer, substitute goat or lamb for the chicken.
Algerian Couscous
I learned how to make this in France from some Algerian friends. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Algerian Beef
Highly seasoned beef pairs with kidney beans and hominy in this Latin-inspired dish. Hominy is corn that has been soaked in lime or lye. The result is a versatile grain with a chewy texture and a very light, smoky-sour flavor.
Alger’s Homemade Lithuanian Kielbasa
Alger, our mailman in the early 1980s in West Glenville, NY, gave us some of his homemade kielbasa to try and I BEGGED him for the recipe after we tried it. I have kept that recipe for 30 years now without actually making it, but we dragged it out again, planning to try it sometime soon, as we have natural casings on hand and a sausage stuffing attachment for our KitchenAid. The recipe is writtren in Alger’s words, not mine, so you may find it vague.Here’s to Alger, wherever he may be!
