Found in an online search for “Honigkuchen Marlenka” and posted b/c it sounds like it would be very good and something very different to make for tea or dessert. Might have to leave the walnuts off since the kids don’t care for them. Heck NO! They can pick ’em off! *lol*
Yoghurt cakes are always so moist. I love the sound of the lemon flavourings in this one. The recipe specifies natural yoghurt, but when I make it I plan to use creamy Greek yoghurt. I’m posting this recipe, which I found in ‘The Best of Lebanese and Middle Eastern Cooking’ for the 2005 Zaar World Tour.
Over coffee with my Armenian/Chaldean/Lebanese/Iraqi/ “brothers” this is perfect. Rich and not overly sweet. Note: Mahleb is a spice made from ground cherry pits. Sev gundeegs are tiny black seeds that have a faint anise flavor. Both are available in grocery stores that sell Middle Eastern or Greek foods. T.J.
This dish is the definition of comfort food for Iranian-Armenians. Aromatic basmati rice, tender chunks of beef, and fluffy potatoes are cooked together in an unctuous spiced tomato sauce. My version has a little Tex-Mex twist: salsa!
This would be categorized as a ‘stuffed’ meatball! It’s a recipe that cousin Debbie, sister Diane and I worked on this winter, trying to replicate our grandmother’s kufta. It’s been many many years since we’ve had this, and I think we have it down pretty well. It can be made as a side dish or a main dish soup, by adding pasta and vegetables to the broth when you add the meatballs.
