Meat and Pasta Soup

Lamb, carrots, onions and soup pasta simmered together in a light sauce made from meat juices and tomato puree.

Spicy Afghan Meatball/Kofta

Delicious spicy meatballs which never absorb oil. Makes a good appetizer if you make small meatballs and put them on a toothpick.

Sambosas (Afghan Meat Turnover)

This is a traditional Afghan appetizer, great for parties, a very simple dish that if you ask 100 Afghan chefs you’ll get 100 slightly different recipes. This is the one my family always made, and paired it with my yogurt sauce(check my other recipes) for dipping.

L’ham Lahlou – Algerian / North African Sweet Lamb Dish.

This dish is traditionally cooked in Algeria for eating during Ramadan and on special ocassions. It is hardly ever eaten as a main course, but as a small dish after the main. This recipe freezes well. In my family, it’s only my husband that eats it so I freeze individual portions for him. I tend to play around with the recipe and change the fruit around and add a little extra liquid. This is just one of hundreds of variations of this recipe, I will post a few alternatives later.
