Armenian Easter Bread

Very tasty and addicting sweet bread. Secret ingredients are mahleb, seeds which can be purchased in any Middle Eastern grocery, and nigella, black seeds. Makes two large or three small loaves. Passive work time includes rising time and baking time.

Argentine Beef Stew in a Pumpkin (Carbonada En Zapallo)

From Sasha Martin, Globaltableadventure.com, a truly amazing blog: “Carbonada en Zapallo is a traditional Christmas dish in Argentina, it also makes a wonderful dish for Halloween or Thanksgiving potlucks. It’s best to bake the pumpkin on something you can use for serving because trying to lift a softened pumpkin full of soup … well, let’s just say it begs to crack in half and spill everywhere. If this is not an option, roast the pumpkin on a baking sheet until well browned – about an hour and fifteen minutes, remove to serving platter and fill with completely cooked soup right before serving.” Check out her blog about cooking the world!

National Stew of Argentine (Puchero)

Posted for ZWT7- Central and South America. I found this on alleasyrecipes.com. Note: Zaar doesn’t recognize the calf’s foot cut in 4 pieces so I put it here. You probably can’t buy one anyway but its part of the recipe.
