Afghan Tea – an Authentic Family Recipe
This is a great recipe for the typical tea drunk in Afghani homes. It is easy to make and very warming. Traditionally you drink it with sugar but if you wish to leave it out or sub with Splenda etc, that’s OK!

From 70 Medecins de France Le Tresor De La Cuisine Du Bassin Mediterraneen and found in The Good Cook Classic Desserts. 1/2 lb dates is about 2 cups.
This is the most famous Algerian ‘heloua’. You will find it at all the weddings & special occasions. It isn’t all that difficult to make but is a bit time consuming. It freezes OK too!

This is a traditional family recipe for M’shewsha. M’shewsha is a delicious Algerian dish made with lots of eggs, a little semolina & a little flour. You pour warm honey over it & allow it to soak in……..delicious! M’shewsha can be enjoyed for breakfast or with afternoon coffee – it tastes like a cross between a fluffy pancake & French toast! Traditional, it is thought to give you a lot of strength – manual labourers eat it often, as do women who’ve just had a baby! This is also great for Suhor during Ramadan – yum!
Mchewek are small balls of mainly almond filling which are moist and slightly chewy on the inside while crisp on the outside. Simple to make but incredibly delicious…
